      I resent being told that, as a woman, I have little autonomy to decide which ideas win my approval but simply react to dominant ones.

      Whether it's feminists telling me I'm conditioned to favour social jobs or anti-feminists that I'm brainwashed to think I want one at all.

      By that, I mean the very socially conservative idea that feminism is undermining the family & making women unhappy by extending their roles.

      Not the criticism of feminist approaches to gender equality by people who support gender equality. Both can be described as 'anti-feminist.'

      So it is not inconsistent to argue against cultural constructivist ideas of gender coz you think those ideas have power & are harmful.

      Ideas do have power & can be harmful but arguing against them is the way to defeat them. Win people to better ideas.

      Finally getting to the idea of the 'status quo' and liberals alleged support of it in a way which supports oppressive norms.

      Firstly, you'd need to accept the status quo is dominated by oppressive norms & this is a big difference between liberals & intersectionals

      (Using 'liberal' in the sense of lefties & centrists who are not conservative and also not the economic far-left or identitarian far-left)

      When I am accused of wanting the preserve the status quo, this is true in 1 sense. I want to preserve universal liberalism & egalitarianism

      There is a reason the identitarian lefties have been dubbed 'the regressive left'. But progress is also integral to liberalism.

          When we look at progress universal liberalism brought in last 50 years in terms of gender/racial/LGBT equality, mad to ditch this approach.

          The idea that people of all races, genders, sexualities should have equal opportunities & no-one be discriminated against works well.

          The idea that we should evaluate people by their race. gender, sexuality & foreground the interests of some groups over others doesn't.

          But we also need to be careful not to reactively defend the present in response to people who see it as plagued by oppressive systems.

          eg Not be motivated to see racism, sexism, homophobia nowhere in response to people seeing it everywhere.
