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.

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

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

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?
