I agree with her that feminism, in some ways – and CRT – isn’t about real change. It’s about moral judgmentalism and inaction. I can’t even count how many times I read the phrases “white power structures” or “female subjugation,” or “privilege.” Instead of trying to empower themselves via change, the movement simply wants to spin their wheels in the mud and judge everybody else.

This in itself if a way of grasping for power. I paste and earlier post of mine from the hamster thread.

It's how the weak seek status.

They can't achieve status by mainstream means; so they re-value the traditional trappings of success (beauty, financial and social success) and call them bad, and place their own self-defined 'success factors' (being ugly, being an outcast, being 'queer') above those. They turn necessities into virtues.

They grasp for power by turning the hierarchy upside down. Hence the anti-hierarchical rhetoric: they hate the hierarchy because they are stuck at the bottom of it with no hope of rising. Their only shot at improving their lot is to convince the world that the hierarchy should be reconfigured to put them at the top.

They pretend that the situation they have been forced into by their own mediocrity, lack of drive, beauty and intelligence was their own choice. Maybe they have chosen it for themselves (depending on how much you believe in free will), but mostly they're stuck there until they manage to convince the world that the prevailing hierarchy is wrong. In the meantime they get to feel the rush of high status and power within the small group of misfits that buys into their upside-down value system. With enough numbers they can exercise a tyranny of the weak over the strong. Democracy is a great enabler of this dynamic.

This is how Nietzsche argued Christianity began: slaves making a virtue out of weakness to revolt against and seize power from their pagan overlords.

Women are more drawn to these ideologies because they are the ideologies of the weak. Their weapons are social cohesion and the threat of excommunication, both of which women are more susceptible to. Manipulation is used to change the rules of the game. Men are more inclined to try to improve their score in the game - and indeed men are more capable of doing so. That's why men are less likely to buy into this bullshit.
