This essay contains spoilers for Andor season 1 through Andor season 2, episode 8 (but not episodes 9 through 12).

I have been writing about feminism (and other topics related to sex, gender, sexuality, sexism, and social justice) for about 25 years now. I have conveniently chronicled all that work (including links to all my online essays over the years) on my writings webpage. Admittedly, some people are most (or only) familiar with my first book, Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, which was published in 2007.

this has been stuck in my mind for the last week, so I wrote up a short 4-minute-read about it. come for the Ben Shapiro jokes, stay for why I hate reactionary centrists! on Medium (friend link): https://t.co/xu2DUrJCSl & Substack (no paywall): https://t.co/bOeHzW74dR
