I strongly dislike the 'Respect women because they have relatives' bullshit. We're a sexually reproducing species which cares for its young and maintains family ties. Nearly everyone has relatives. They're also individuals and have genuinely respect-worthy qualities.

Some people think it's inconsistent that I am critical of feminism and of 'traditional gender roles' which make women purely wives and mothers and domestic workers but it isn't. If feminism was just that, I wouldn't be critical of it.

I am very very sceptical of traditional gender roles at the same time as recognising that gender differences exist and lead to different choices in life. This is because I know we are overlapping populations. Steven Pinker said it best:pic.twitter.com/JurdNpL7C6

This is really well stated. The conservative traditionalists and the gender difference denying feminists are both focused on groups. They have this in common, even if one side wants to ignore the overlap and the other side wants to pretend the difference doesn't exist.

Excited to read it! I've recently become a huge fan of your writing. I particularly loved the one on Androphobia. It's a reality check so many seem to need recently.
