Do you think Christina Hoff Sommers has made any valid points or is she just another panderer to the Anti-sjw crowd? I know she's held her "Contrarian Feminist" position for decades but she hadn't really come into prominence until GG happened.
As far as “anti-feminism” goes I’ve more or less stopped paying attention to most people who fit that moniker because it’s clearly just phoned in propaganda that’s usually not even that well made/written, and that’s often just purely mean spirited. CHS is somewhat on the line between “take her seriously” and “ignore” because she’s civil and actually seems like a pleasant person who actually believes what she’s saying (which I respect even if I disagree), but she also completely dumbs down the complexity of many of the things she talks about and is guilty of some of the same things the other anti’s are, like misrepresenting the arguments being made by feminists.
I think it’s pretty clear she’s pandering to some extent, as she identifies as a feminist, but does basically nothing but criticize feminism. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard her say anything pro-feminism, or pro-feminist causes like ever.
The issue is that there are plenty of reasons to criticize the mainstream feminism movement, and you rarely if ever hear about those issues from more typical modern feminists. So as far as gaining a civil perspective about the problems with mainstream feminism, CHS is one of the only people I’d be okay recommending, just as long as you’re staying informed enough to understand where she might be reaching (and we should do this for anyone else as well).
