Postmodernism was a key part of the liberal feminism. When they said "women are smart enough to do this too" that was postmodern.

No. We were doing well & then the postmodern shift happened & disempowered feminism.

I have written about this shift. My mother was a second wave feminist active in opening up professional qualifications to women in 60s & 70s

The postmodern shift that began when intersectionality, queer theory, post-colonialism & critical race theory took off sent it off track.

See to me those were all key social developments, even if some people have done them less well than others.

They moved away from universal liberalism, undervalued shared humanity & individuality & boxed people into stereotypes.

Maybe in some cases that happened, but if you ignore how individuals are treated differently by systemic factors, it's harder to help them.

Don't ignore this. Why are the only options 'ignore disadvantages' or 'make everything abt identity & systems of privilege'

They aren't, but acknowledging such factors exist at all is accepting a PoMo critique, and then we can move forward on what to do.
