Reply to comment by AllanfromWales1 in Judith Butler: their philosophy of gender explained by Necessary_Tadpole692

It’s not actually contradictory, either. You can think someone’s ideas have or could have a negative effect on society even if they don’t intend for that

Exactly. Justice, equality, and non-violence can be easily misdirected or co-opted.

Justice being the most obvious - justice for whom, and how, and for what? An overzealous desire for justice is one of the most destructive forces you can muster.

Equality is another. Equality for whom, and accomplished how? Violent redistribution seeks equality. A lot of antisemitism is rooted in outrage over inequality. The entire equality of outcome versus equality of opportunity debate we are having right now exists because those two values of equality are fundamentally in conflict.
