    What Hacker News says

    1. CKP_againingJul 2023
      I think you may find this article of interest, it's a decent backgrounder to this point of view, and hopefully gives insight into why many left-leaning feminist women have adopted this view or are moving towards it:

      Holly Lawford-Smith's book Gender-Critical Feminism expands on this in much detail. Kara Dansky's book, that you cited, is an enlightening read too, with more of a focus on US law and politics, as her linked blog post is. If you would prefer a more philosophical treatment of this topic, may I also recommend Kathleen Stock's work Material Girls.

      Holly Lawford-Smith, mentioned in the article, released a book last year, Gender-Critical Feminism (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/gender-critical-femi...), which I would recommend reading. It sheds a lot of light onto a very heated topic, and conveys well the gender critical viewpoint and what it's fundamentally all about.
