Link: "The Jenner Shift and Its Consequences"

Sorry for the sparse blogging lately—I've been busy with other projects. Fortunately, at least one other blogger has been covering the gender politics and social epistemology beat in my absence: at Repeal the Common Era, the author delivers an excellent 4.3K word piece on "The Jenner Shift and Its Consequences": the epochal gender-political realignment in which nerdy men who were demonized by the internet feminism of the early 2010s, found a way in to the progressive stack, at the cost of an update to the coalition's shared lies. The broad outlines of this model are probably familiar to long-time readers of The Scintillating But Ultimately Untrue Thought, but R.C.E.'s account is particularly notable for its discussion of the role of T4T-normativity in stabilizing the new equilibrium.
