Interesting article that’s probably a 10 minute read give or take a few. The writer looks at the current state of things with women, feminism, etc. She (imo) correctly notes how much of it has contributed to the atomization of people and how that has helped enable a sort of “neo-feudalism” that’s
underwritten by an emerging bio-security state that disciplines and surveils our bodies even as it proposes to terraform our souls. It would de-regulate human nature itself. Open up our bodies as markets for biotech. Applaud males for embracing a surgically feminised ‘gender identity’, while re-branding females as ‘gestators’, chestfeeders’, ‘birthing bodies’ or just ‘uterus-havers’.
That a lot of what feminism has done has made it easy for our humanity itself to be destroyed and remodeled “in the name of utopia.” And that, through fighting this, feminism’s interest align with those of conservatives.
The article’s worth reading just in that it shows even some left-aligned people are seeing how the things they fought for aren’t all they were cracked up to be. She's still a feminist though, so who knows whether they'll start actually backtracking or not.
Unherd.com is a UK based online magazine that was started by former Daily Telegraph and Independent journo Sally Chatterton so says Wikipedia. I’m not familiar with the sort of slant it gives but it lists Ayaan Hirsi Ali as one of its contributors so it can’t be all bad. After a minute of skimming I’d maybe say it’s center-left in its framing. Maybe something akin to a more lefty Quillette?
