I think the current internal "war" of feminism, between Trans and Terf, illustrates this. As the debate grows to include "multiple genders" and ever greater "intersectionality" the Alice in Wonderland absurdities become more apparent. In a real sense the very success of feminism and its offshoots has been the lack of awareness of its idiocies beyond Universities and the "elite" they supply. The wider public simply accepting that such things are about being nice to women or "minorities" up till recently. In a way the success and attempts to spread this into schools and work has exposed far more people to the reality of an ideology that actually hates ordinary everyday folk. In a sense the "woke" have started to awaken the wider public. I suspect many "donors" had trundled along thinking their Alma Mater was still the place they knew, until this issue exposed the reality of diversity appointments, and double standards.
