Loads of enmity aimed at them by intersectionals who say they pay lip-service service only & appropriate WoC like hooks.

Wow! I admit that I haven't been keeping track. If even Valenti and Anita are now failing the ideological purity test...

They actually come from different places. V & S are universalists from a Marxist viewpoint, seeing women as a class. 1/2

Intersectionals who actually have this as their primary framework - Crenshawe, Lourde, critical race theory -reject this harshly

To them, gender is just one marginalised identity & one of the least important ones - race & trans first - so V & S = White fems
