My finger is pointed at the postmodernist "intellectuals" who first dreamed up the 3rd wave of feminism, and the emphasis on individuality and identity (while embracing misogynist religions and so on).

Since it started becoming more and more normalized, I begun seeing intersectional feminism for what it really was: bunch of BS. I don't think the people who were originally behind the movement had malicious intentions, however it seems pretty clear to me that this beautiful new ideology was invented in some upper-class university, where affluent "geniuses" thought they had solved all the problems of feminism and the entire world. Like it was some magic cure to everything. (More like snake oil, in my opinion.) In the meantime, e.g. working/lower class women were duly forgotten and pushed aside as uneducated morons. And when you're cast aside like a piece of trash, where would you turn to? Well, possibly to the opposite side.

Not sure if I'm making much sense here. :) But I do think that the rise of 3rd wave had a terrible impact on the U.S. presidential elections in 2016, for example. Someone smarter has probably already studied this. Will see if I actually manage to find out any interesting articles about the subject (hopefully from somewhere else than some super right-wing religious site that loves to blame all types of feminists of EVERYTHING.)
