Can we talk about liberal feminism?

It's late and I've had wine and so this is probably a bit disjointed. BUT liberal feminism seems like a complete clusterfuck to me. It's all about 'reflecting on things' and apologising. God, so much apologising. I don't think white heterosexual lefty men spend their lives saying 'mea culpa' do they? But white het women seem to be on a mission to self-abase. It's really fucking odd and quite disturbing.

Is anyone else seeing this or do I need to start wearing a tinfoil hat or something?

I assume it is some kind of cultural residue from religion.

Yes! And there are posts about women only spaces and everyone goes 'yes, yes, so important!' and then someone says 'but what about the transwomen' and then they all beat themselves with the stick of transmisogyny.

There's a weird masochistic element to it which I think is really unhealthy

I agree with you and this is especially evident where it comes to trans issues.
