Quote:But for all its progressive posturing, the left, like the right, continues to frame women’s political existence through the lens of womanhood: a role to be honoured, managed, or performed, but never transcended. Women do not lean left because it offers a credible path to emancipation. They do so because the right never even tried, and because the left, despite everything, still carries a faint echo of that promise.
I thought this essay was a good complement to Caroline Criado Perez' latest newsletter, in which she also discusses how the world wants to keep women within a certain framework and not value them equally to the way we value men.
