Agreed that 'identity left' often gets focused on obvious cultural things over less obvious structural legal factors.

I think this is often bc we have had more success gaining cultural power than political power (in part bc ID pol originated in academia...

in part bc of how the Constitution distributes power geographically.) But nevertheless, it hurts our arguments when we seem more upset...

over culture than over actual concrete unjust laws. That's a totally fair point.

I would say, though, that part of our core argument is that a) men's material interests make sexist ideas dangerously seductive...

and so we fight extra hard against those ideas, which is where the accusations of thought policing come in, which I don't fully deny...
