"Hmmmmmm….Sophie’s argument—that 2000s mainstream media co-opted feminist language in order to strip it of meaning and power—is sound, but she doesn’t always connect it back to what she is discussing.

“How empty does your message have to be for a deranged right wing to even have a chance of winning? Of all the epitaphs that may one day be written on the gravestone of Western liberalism, the most damning is this: Faced off against a nihilistic, endlessly cruel manifestation of conservatism, and somehow managed to make it close.”
