    Hey Dr @naomirwolf, for one of 'best known feminists', w 64k followers, yr tweets got few ♥️s, but lots of articulate responses from much less well known feminists (aka: ordinary women). Why not try to understand what these 👭 are saying instead of dismissing as unfathomable?pic.twitter.com/ZpyS6u6y0y

        Of course she doesn't mean "unfathomable" as in impossible to understand but as in "we are not allowed to think about this". When an idea sets up camp in your brain and puts up barriers against thought , a public intellectual's job is to notice and break them down ☹️

        Did she not recently have her PhD thesis (and the book on which it was based) discredited because she failed to check basic historical facts about the law? Perhaps iy might be advisable for her to do some research into this issue before tweeting. Just a thought.

        My instinct is to be at least wary, if not critical, when someone arrogates to themselves a status in order to frame or justify their opinions. And especially when their critical thinking had just been shown to be flawed.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/24/books/naomi-wolf-outrages.html …

        Shouldn’t one do the critical thinking before publishing? Just a thought.

        She described herself as ‘one of the worlds best known feminists’. Proper LOL at this one.

        She must be right because she's one of the "world's best known." Hubris.

        Ah, that brief moment when the UK Guardian actually showed some balls on this issue. Owen Jones blocked me when I asked him if he was going to resign😂.

        No one truly believes in equality, the pull of in-group loyalty is exceedingly strong.
