This is a piece I reference in this week's forthcoming newsletter, on how we get caught in bad discourse. This is a proper contextualizing of the panic among "gender criticals" & their spate of recent books.

"Gender is how women are oppressed; sex is the excuse patriarchy uses for the oppression of women. Reality—the reality shared by women, actual women, in the world—really does matter for feminism. Metaphysical definitions of the category 'woman' really, really don’t."
