My feminist view - that gender is on a continuum and we are all better off dropping a lot of those binary notions - is one that is shared by the more recent generation of trans activists and theorists.

Trump's "Make America Great Again" program trumpets a national identity built on scapegoating, self-pity and grandiosity, and the promise of a strongman.

My goal is to be accused of being strident.

the backlash convinced the public that women's 'liberation' was the true contemporary American scourge - the source of an endless laundry list of personal, social, and economic problems.

I've never believed that women have some special, essentialist qualities, or were more nurturing, cooperative, and morally superior.

the central argument of the backlash - that women's equality is responsible for women's unhappiness.

The women's movement. . . has proved women's own worst enemy.
