How do these people function in the real world?

The short answer is: they don't.

They do, I think. But they will enjoy bullying on the side when they can get away with it. What's a better time than ganging up on an acceptable target? All of the endorphin rush that comes with in-group loyalty with double dose of moral superiority on top.

Perhaps the only time they can feel powerful and in control

I wonder if these young women will ever switch sides? I know on r/gendercritical there were a lot of former vehement lib fems who woke up, so here's hoping.

Here's hoping for Hannah Gadsby too - she's certainly kicked feminism in the ovaries.

And comedy, she's kicked that hardest.

I've only seen her standup once, and I thought she was OK. I thought she relied a tiny bit too heavily on her schtick of autistic, misunderstood lesbian, but them most comedians build their act off of their own life, so she's just doing what's normal for comedians.

My issue is hardly any of her act was actual comedy. It felt like narcissistic complaining. Which is fine, but it's not stand up comedy.

That type of "comedy" is so common now; I find it tiresome.
