Kate Millett
“Las personas que tan apasionadamente desprecian a la mitad de sus compatriotas son incapaces de sentir el mínimo autorrespeto.”
Kate Millett, Sexual Politics

Helen Pluckrose
“Since they look at oppression only in terms of colonialism, colonialism is all these scholars and activists are equipped to find. As a result, not only do they hamstring their ability to understand - and therefore ameliorate - the problems they are seeking to solve, but they also tend to make them worse. This commonly results in a marked tendency to neglect the rights of women and of sexual and religious minorities, unless they are threatened by white Westerners. This goes against achieving social justice - bit it's integral to the ideology called Social Justice.”
Helen Pluckrose, Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity—and Why This Harms Everybody
