Yeah, and I don't have any problem with this. The entire point of the back and forth was that you don't have to subscribe to identity politics to defend these rights and support the women who are being affected - and in fact there's absolutely no rational reason to do so. It doesn't make sense.

Yeah. It is. If you don't think carefully about why you believe what you believe, why you support the things you support, then your politics are going to be a mess of moral confusion.
