"Misogynistic reactionaries shocked women and feminists don't like them but far-right men do, film at 11".

That isn't my interpretation of the article at all. It is talking about women bullying other women - with both sides calling themselves feminists. Men are barely mentioned let alone far right men. It is actually quite fair and balanced.

''There is a misconception amongst certain gender critical feminists — or reality-based feminists to use Hadley Freeman’s phrase — that men make up a large majority of their vilifiers and hounders. Amongst the powerful minority who hate and harangue those who argue for sex-based rights, many are women.''

''It is feminism’s best and worst kept secret that women bully and dehumanise other women as much as men do.''

The article is specifically about deconstructing a rift between TERFS, and the topic between them somehow is men exclusively being at the center of women's problems.

The article is saying that a big opposition to a lot of women's prospect comes from woman on the liberal side of the political spectrum.

This article is close enough to my opinion on the original article to be getting on with.

And some old-school radical feminists going into the underpinnings why they don't take anti-trans self-identified feminists seriously since I'm apparently assigning reading.

I have seen women calling other women 'pick me' for not going with the party line. And I don't mean being a Terf either. Stuff like domestic assault, courtroom fights over children, even over terminology like manspreading or men talking over women sort of things. Issues that has plenty of gray area for different ideas.
I got nothing to say here.

Well I was thinking at the very least I could take a look at the cases it was talking about for some due credibility or at the very least a good laugh. Really though yeah this is an alt right publication, so HoG was probably right as far as I can tell.

For a simple example relevant to America:

"White women in America will usually side with conservative male politicians over other women due to the importance of protecting white identity over women's rights."

Yeah, no. That is a propaganda line.

The numbers back it up. 2020 election 55% of white women voted for Trump.
