"Feminists often think of men as the oppressor and women as the oppressed."

That's the toxic dynamic that undermines co-operation and turns identity politics into what is perceived as a zero sum game.  Throw in toxic terms like patriarchy and misogyny without also acknowledging the equal and opposite forces of matriarchy and misandry, and this struggle turns into a turf war that ends like so many other wars with casualties and a damaged world.

Amazing volume of this incendiary drivel passing through the Globe these days.
