Now though, we see it coming from both "right" and "left" (as in the Women's March scandal).

I had to google it, found this:

So it doesn't really surprise me , the whole stuff is full of cringe. Some movements are about "inclusion" they're about reductionism, they're based on self-centered impulses that center around a part of someone's identity, their tendency seems to be to repeat the process and move towards narrower and narrower aspects about identity.

It's the logic of:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The antisemitism has always been in Feminism though. It is only recently that they have to publicly own it. I don't know why they get a pass on it.
