        Lol no. These people rarely have empathy for anyone but themselves.

          Exactly. White collar, upwardly mobile women (usually white) trying to accrue social credit for themselves to preen for other similarly minded women with no real desire to make anything materially better for anyone else.

            Can’t count the number of times I’ve had “allies” try to call me out for speaking about my own experience. Identity politics is a cancer.
