      Yes, you are seeing campus lunacy which is produced by a distillation of intersectional feminist & critical race theory (among others) and pushed in a simplified activist form on campuses trading on the good name of the civil rights movement, 2nd wave liberal feminism & Gay Pride

      I appreciate that. However, I'm still stuck on how theory becomes adopted without the scholarship of said theorists being 'cared about'

      Because the ideology is cared about. Academics and activists can get condensed forms of their 'theories' accepted and complied with due to social pressure even tho almost no-one is reading their stuff and the 'scholarship' is largely an illusion.

      This is the problem that James is trying to highlight. The belief that these ideas are based on a body of scholarship is false. The vast majority of it is completely ignored and yet key ideas of the *ideology* still possess great cultural power and this presented as scholarly.

      A useful analogy is with religion. Take Islam for an example, We know that much, much complicated Islamic theology is written but we also know that most fundamentalist Muslims haven't read any of it. Or even the Quran. They rely instead on a few key ideas built into an ideology.

      In countries where Islam is the dominant cultural force (which is why I chose it), the Islamic scholars and leaders possess great power to influence policies because they are regarded generally as 'good' and 'knowledgeable' even by ppl who haven't read them.

      Do you share James's sense that the hegemony of the feminist ideology is too entrenched to be overturned or at least abridged somewhat?

      I am usually more optimistic than James! But I see the same problem he does and also think we have a long way to go to unpick the assumptions and norms we have talked ourselves into.

      Well, we all need to keep doing what we're doing if that is ever going to happen. So keep it up!

      I thank @QuilletteM for introducing me to reasonable anti-feminists who are (I assume) also pro-female. My circle is not typically so nuanced.

      Well, thank you. I say this but we prob mean same thing. If you are concerned abt current feminism but support equal opportunities & recognise overlapping distributions of traits & feel men & women can have relationships of mutual liking & respect, we do.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/728750955995529216 …

      I am neither a feminist nor an anti-feminist. I'm a supporter of gender equality concerned the current feminist movement does not support it
