Exactly. Having been involved in a cult or two in my younger years, I see all the hallmarks of mind control cult behaviour. Steve Hassan's book, "Combatting Cult Mind Control" goes into this in depth. Steve was a former Moonie who quit and went on to become a psychiatrist specialising in cult recovery therapy and techniques. Most of what he wrote, I recognised.

One thing with a typical cult follower is the extreme capacity for cognitive dissonance and their vicious behaviour towards those who waver in the cult.

If the cult's goals or predictions either come to fruition or comes to nothing, they simply move the goalposts so the cult never become irrelevant. There can never be an end goal that gets achieved. Power has to be held at all costs.

Feminists are not unique in these behaviours, it is typical of cults. No one wins and in the end, everybody loses.
