Good article, Janice. I had very similar sentiments reading/listening to Reeves’ work – he’s very reluctant to criticize Feminism. But I think we can all understand the reluctance, because to not have it is almost certain Career Suicide. I have wondered (as you also hint at) whether his approach is partly strategic. On occasions listening to him talk I see the frustration appear through the cracks, maybe. (he’s also probably not aware of the full extent of the crazy, as you point out)

He might be trying to reach a particular audience on the Left who are Default Feminists – those who have been sold the over-simplified narrative that ‘Feminism = Undoing Two Thousand Years of Female Oppression’ without looking any further into it.

Will his approach work? If those Default Feminists have sons, there might be a small chance?

But, as always, excellent piece!
