I'll just give one example but there are many like her: Roxane Gay has been given massive media exposure in the USA, regularly featured in the most prominent liberal papers such as NYT. She is an overt misandrist, lesbian intersectional "fat feminist" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_feminism …

I know her bio and her work and her history. I'm sure others may get something out of that. Your assertion that it is a conservative fallacy academic feminism is dominated to this day by lesbians is unsubstantiated. We'll find the data on who is leading the conferences and post.
-
Then you know she's not a lesbian. Please do find it. I'd be very interested to see figures. I think I know who most of the leading feminist scholars are.
-
She is an open misandrist and she is supported by the most prominent liberals in America for her misandry. She absolutely hated men for most of her life and still does. A single essay does not prove anything. No true lesbian. Sure she is a spectrum. We all are.
-
I don't know if she's a misandrist. I looked for evidence of her being a lesbian. The political lesbianism of the 2nd wave is very different to the queer identity of today.

Her pinned tweet for years was "you call me a misandrist like it's a bad thing" I called her on it. Guess who joined in the male bashing. https://twitter.com/aodespair/status/664179225243557888 …

OK, but I'm not arguing that misandry is not a major thing. I am saying, for the last time, that political lesbian separatism has moved on to critical race theory, queer theory and intersectionality now and the old radfems, lesbian or not, are being no-platformed and vilified.

Really? Which leading intersectionals are lesbian or focus on lesbian issues?

In what way has intersectionality made feminism 'more lesbian' if you don't mean more focus on lesbian issues?
-

Not really, the focus on lesbian feminism was much greater because they where less concerned about transexuality, disability, race and other intersectionality-stuff back then.

A lesbian used to be almost worshiped as the ultimate feminist. Some completely cut men out of there lives, even their sons. Then came the transgender movement, now a dude can be a lesbian and a penis can be feminine. That's why the lesbians are pissed and how we got terfs.

Well if by radical feminists you mean TERFs that shit on trans women, then hell yeah!
-
This person thinks they are dominant in intersectional feminism.
-
What, the TERFs? Boo, heck the TERFs!
-
He's describing the radical lesbian feminists who went on to become terfs as the people currently running the feminist movement.
-
Oh that guy. Well I disagree with him. TERFs still exist and it's a problem, but based on what I've seen TERFs are a fringe group, not the mainstream.

BTW, I don't know if you read Conor Friedersdorf's article about intersectionality, but his general thesis is to not throw the baby out with the bathwater:https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/03/intersectionality-is-not-the-enemy-of-free-speech/555014/ …
