I mean, this is hardly new. The left--at least in past decade or so, which is when I started paying attention--has never been shy about criticizing (to the point of overt racism) any minority that steps out of line with the established narrative. And since Lee is (or was) one of their "own" as a DEI enforcer, she's essentially a heretic in their twisted imitation of a religion--because that mandatory acknowledgement thing absolutely reeks of a catechism--when she steps out of line.

The religious nature of the critical social justice beliefs might explain why upper-middle class, college educated, liberal, white women are more prevalent amongst the adherents. Women are quite a bit more prone to religious belief than men, with Christianity showing that gender difference more than other religions.

It might explain why, liberal, white women, having given up traditional religious belief have gravitated towards critical social justice and then embraced it hard like new religious converts tend to do.

This has also coincided with women taking up more highly placed managerial and leadership positions and so bringing their newfound zealousness into corporations and organisations.

All that being said, this is not to blame women for all this, certainly not. But it does explain why it was the female-dominated areas, education, healthcare, HR, that fell first and fell so hard for this shit.

Not sure about all whites but Anglo women tend to be raised like princesses, hence the entitlement.

It’s not “entitlement” it’s religious fervour, they think they’re right and if you disagree you’re not just wrong you’re evil. It’s the same way the most ardent religious people tend to be the new converts. It’s brainwashing and a desperate desire to be doing the right thing.

But that also ties into the two. The religious fervor is related to the entitlement and "Mommy and Daddy told me I was the most perfect person in the world and if you disagree with me in any way, or even if I just don't like you, you're not just wrong, you're evil."

It is related since idpol does nothing to stop class warfare and indeed actively shouts down anyone who mentions it about class (so the rich/upper class will remain at the top of the food chain), the wokeness would value liberal intellectuals at the top (so liberal, college-educated people remain at the top)- and intersectionality gives just enough lip service to ignore that "the more majorities you have go downwards first, the less will be tempered by their 'minority'...meaning a woke world will make the dominant identity group become...well, upper-class, college educated, liberal, white women.
