    Finally updated the thing for my pinned tweet. I wrote it in the vain attempt to stop people ascribing all kinds of bizarre positions to me and so that people thinking of following me can decide based on what I genuinely think.pic.twitter.com/ue2flQp82t

        That was the purpose of the update, yes. People kept thinking I was a libertarian or conservative.

        Yeah “classic liberal” is now, rightly or wrongly, viewed as a right wing dog whistle in the minds of intersectional watchdogs.

        Liberal but not "unenlightened." Feminist but not the "silly, nasty" kind. You may not have intended it, but this feels like buying into the right's narrative. Like me saying "I'm a minority but not the bad kind." As if I'm seeking their approval & validation that I'm acceptable.

        I hear where you're coming from. But I think she may be only rejecting some of the problematic flaws in these groups she otherwise aligns with, rather than adopting Right-wing narratives, which I assume we all explicitly reject.

        Well said! Completely align to these views but have been accused of being maverick for daring to question the nastiness and silliness.

        Whenever I come to read your tweets, I occasionally have to read them a few times and roll the thoughts around my head(like a good wine taster rolls the liquid around their mouth*). Always interesting. *I don't spit your tweets away though😀. More Often I give a 👍.

        I hear you about religion, but consider that from the perspective of evolutionary psychology, anthropology, sociology, etc., “religion” is just another word for ideology. Liberalism, conservatism humanism, all isms, are religions too.https://theindependentwhig.com/2013/06/11/religion-morality-and-ideology-different-names-for-the-same-underlying-element-of-human-nature/ …

        You contradict yourself in your own blog, Your words, my emphasis: "...morality, politics (i.e., ideology), and religion are just DIFFERENT manifestations of our evolved, underlying, groupishness."

        What do you think of the term "gender egalitarian"? If someone asks me in 2018 if I am a feminist, I say "no, I'm a gender egalitarian".

        Gosh! When you put it that way, I have to consider that I, too might be a liberal. Noooo... I'll say it ain't so.
