Even her back story seems to be constructed and manipulated in a way to make it seem like she is a New Age woman that is woke against men in a manner that is simply there to sell books or speaking positions. I looked into where she is from and birth records. She is definitely not what she says she is or educated in the manner she states.

@@russiane.lection-hacker2057 screw that, a lot of women become responsible adults, especially those who end co-dependant or abusive relationships and learn to stand on their own two feet. It's called becoming a whole human being. And is becoming a 'man' a good aim, what a about a human being yourself, both sides of the yin and yang. Here's an excerpt from a feminist book WRITTEN BY A MAN. "Women, Men and The Whole Damn Thing" by David Leser. Definitely worth a read if you're open enough to learn about feminism. "I first read this passage more than a decade ago, and the words have remained with me. That’s partly because they were delivered by a strong feminist, but also because they spoke to what it is in men that causes them to inflict such monumental hurt on women, other men, children and themselves. They are forced to cage and kill the feminine within their own beings and consequently the world. Carl Jung, the Swiss psychoanalyst renowned for his theory of the collective unconscious, called this feminine within a man the anima-the ‘unconscious woman’ that contains all the feminine personality qualities inside a man that can either be expressed, if allowed, or repressed and removed. These are the qualities of tenderness, compassion, vulnerability, friendship, relatedness, creativity, imagination and intuition. Conversely, he called the masculine within a woman the animus-the ‘unconscious man’ that holds the archetypal masculine traits of courage, assertiveness, analytical thought, decisiveness and a drive for achievement. (The Chinese describe this polarity as yin and yang, the complementary female and male principles operating in nature.) In Jung’s worldview, all of us carry these archetypal qualities inside us-feminine and masculine-but from childhood we create gender identities and roles, consciously or unconsciously, to conform with the often-crippling sexual stereotypes society imposes. Girls wear pink, and isn’t that a pretty dress? Boys wear blue and play with Lego and trucks, and aren’t you strong? Women are nurturers. Men are providers. Women are sensitive. Men are tough. We all know the drill; and we all know that identity politics today is, in part, a furious backlash to these oversimplified and limiting concepts. For men, these stereotypes are particularly destructive..."

She is not the left, she is not a serious example of the left. Please stop conflating this nonsense with the left. She is, and her brand of feminism is a replication of capitalism and the structures that she opposes. She is a product of the consumerism and individualism, when she says women, she is really saying me. Her solutions are for more of the same. She is diverting from the true struggle of making a fairer more just and more ecologically stable world. People like her do more harm to serious calls for social democracy and feed into the socially liberal ‘decorum’ she rails against, nonsense like ‘sis’ gender have never been uttered by a hungry mouth.
