It was obvious in Stock's work from the get-go; she's unimaginatively authoritarian. Even her work in philosophy of fiction allows ONLY authorial intent, and any other critical engagement or interpretation of a work is simply dismissed as incorrect reading

Congrats to every analytic philosopher that rallied behind her, you helped forge another right-wing pundit

Kathleen Stock turning into a firebreathing anti-choice campaigner is one of those things that was in retrospect both entirely predictable but is also just so funny to witness

“How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?”

Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/

Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men
Research published in Sex Roles suggests that male victimhood ideology among South Korean men is driven more by perceived socioeconomic status decline rather than objective economic hardship.

Nebraska Republicans announce a new anti-trans bathroom ban and in the press conference, confirm this is explicitly religiously motivated.

"The idea of separation of church and legislature is one of the things that really pisses me off."

It's a lazy argument to say that being agains LLMs is like being against the invention of writing, or the printing press, or other major developments. Some innovations (e.g., individual car ownership) did make society worse so it's not a luddite reflex to see if a given development is good

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false.

The medical guidelines contradict numerous conclusions from the UK's infamous Cass Review.

really appreciate this rejoinder to the narrative that “woke” lost the election (citing @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social!) arguing that a decade of facile politics of “visibility” and symbolism over structural reform was a failure of the elites’ own making.
It’s also a big tell. The readiness to repudiate all forms of identity politics and group them under the “bad woke” umbrella is less about policy than about perception – social justice is seen as somehow tainting the liberal cause because, well, social justice is the stuff of scruffy radical activism, not upper-class power. Some of this is a broader backlash to a near-decade of breakthrough movements such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. But it also shows how these never really found a home in the Democratic party in a meaningful way and are seen only as a way to appeal to certain voting blocs. When those voters don’t show up, this is seen as the fault of identity politics itself rather than the fact that it is pursued in ways that are shallow and entirely divorced from voters’ lives. It’s a useful diversion to pretend, and even believe, that dropping the use of Latinx, ditching pronouns or casting fewer Black people in Jaguar ads is the way forward. Yet these are no more than crises of confidence broadly confined to the same class of people who imagine they are relevant to millions outside it. The far more uncomfortable reality, one that demands we raise our game, is that elites created “wokeness” in their own image and have now created a fictional reality in which this patrician class fought valiantly for it and it failed because it’s clearly just not what the people want. But out in the real world, what the people want was never respected or advocated for with any leadership, consistency and conviction. The fight never started.
