Headline should be “Three Woman Murdered in 3 Days”. Victims of these insane new policies are the most vulnerable in society. The perps were men. What ever happened to the fight against “toxic masculinity” - where are the feminist ?

You don’t understand what toxic masculinity is. It’s things likes kids wrestling, men trying to talk to women they don’t know, improving your skills through competition to become competent.

Steven N. It means many thing - including what you mentioned but also includes aggressive behavior and violence as a means - especially towards woman and minorities as it relates with how they deal with frustration , mental illness , etc .

Not that simple...

Human is a "social animal", this is 100% correct, so common interests do exist, and these common interests may be different from some individual interests, all of these are true. The deception is that groups are identifying wrongfully!

Just for clarification: there is "common cause" for inventors (royalties, fees, etc.). The inventors form a group. This group may be (even) at odds with universities, which sometimes may insist that the IP belong to university just because an inventor is working for the university.

The progressists, though, are explaining us that these are not inventors but women in university form "group", or "African-Americans" forms group, or homosexuals' form group, etc. They trying to support their case by nonsense "inclusivity", so that agree with "inventors" as a group but only if half of this group are women and 15% - "African-Americans", etc.!

Apparently, this conditions cannot be met naturally, so it needs an authority, which will appoint the missing "inventors"! This is the core of all "identity" politics: to establish a kind of authority, which is suggested to decide who belongs to some group, and what particularly is "in the best interests" of this group. Progressists pretend to be such authority; now the business looks like a power of mob, but soon...

No - not identity politics . It is pointing out hypocrisy . The leaders of most feminist organizations remain silent when violence against woman is committed by one of their assumed victim group

Women are on the lowest level of the oppression totem pole. They lose out to everyone else, including men who think they're women.

Women commit the majority of child abuse, both physical and sexual. The victim(s) keeps getting smaller in the equation, but the aggressiveness by the perpetrator, regardless of sex, is in equal amounts and just displayed differently.
