      And now I'm letting rip at an intersectional feminist who is apparently very reasonable generally when I should be using the opportunity to find common ground with her and also point out the flaws of intersectionality. I must be tired. 😔

      I just get so angry at this 'woman-as-victim' narrative. Some women are victims of awful things and deserve our support & respect even if they are never able to recover. But women as a group are NOT eternally victimised by everything. We are competent adults!

          I'm not prepared to be infantalised. And I'm even less prepared to let my daughter, who is brilliant and has much to offer the world, be taught that it is hostile to her & that she is a victim of it. This is not true.

          She will encounter arseholes who will try to upset, intimidate and even hurt her. Some of them will be men. It will be horrible. She will need resilience & self-confidence to get through it. She currently has both. No-one is going to teach her she doesn't.

          Are you saying people are not treatex differently just because they are male or female? I think evidence would overwhelmingly beg to differ

          The only significant and meaningful difference is, and should be, that between INDIVIDUALS. Everything else is merely dangerously inaccurate categorisation and generalisation EVERYONE is different and should be entitled to be approached and treated on that basis

          I agree but we still notice patterns & we still have cultural norms in the form of manners.

          Agreed. And quick categorisation (danger-opportunity) is a survival trait baked into our genetics But it's important to be aware of the inherent presumptions we continually make and to see our way beyond them

          You are right. But the playing field is tipped in favour of males just as it is eternally tipped in favour if the ultra-wealthy. Rebalancing requires a time of extra emphasis on those issues that disproportionately favour the underdogs.
