In her magnus opus of flim flam, Judith Butler defended incest & what she termed 'intergenerational sex' aka child sexual abuse. #JudithButler http://uncommongroundmedia.com/the-trojan-unicorn-qt-and-paedophilia-part-iv-dr-em/
Judith Butler did not introduce the concept of gender as performance, Mary Wollstonecraft had been talking about gender as performance since 1792 in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. There is very little in Gender Trouble which is original. https://www.newstatesman.com/international/2020/09/judith-butler-culture-wars-jk-rowling-and-living-anti-intellectual-times
Judith Butler reframed men's sexual rights as feminist. 'Butler’s thoughts on sexual consent should be read with her defence of incest in mind. Butler proposed in general terms that consent was problematic because sometimes ‘they have consented, but do not like that they have...
This is gold standard victim blaming and denies the feminist concept of an ongoing negotiated consent'. Judith Butler was an anti-feminist. http://uncommongroundmedia.com/the-trojan-unicorn-qt-and-paedophilia-part-iv-dr-em/
Judith Butler proposes that biological sex is socially constructed, because that is an argument men like, it helps them to remove our rights by denying sex discrimination. Here is my sex and social constructionism: https://twitter.com/PankhurstEM/status/1263746671944650753?s=20
On Judith Bulter’s obtuse writing style Martha Nussbaum argued that ‘It bullies the reader into granting that, since one cannot figure out what is going on, there must be something significant going on…
When the bullied readers of Butler's books muster the daring to think… they will see that the ideas in these books are thin’

‘When Butler's notions are stated clearly and succinctly, one sees that, without a lot more distinctions and arguments, they don't go far, and they are not especially new. Thus obscurity fills the void left by an absence of a real complexity of thought and argument’. p.4
Judith Butler is more sophist than philosopher, she hides unoriginality of thought behind impenetrable waffle. Those who claim to understand her are lying as her arguments are circles of contradiction and they show they are ill-read if they think she is saying anything new.
The main idea Judith Butler claims as her own - that gender is a social artifice which embeds power relations - well we find that in Mary Wollstonecraft, 1792, John Stuart Mill The Subjection of Women 1869, Simone DeBeauvoir 1949, Dowrki, MacKinnon, etc.
The reason Judith Butler was embraced by male dominated academia is because, as women were making more inroads into further education, she gave men in power a means to deny sex discrimination and thus force women back.
Judith Butler moved material oppression into the realm of wishful thinking and language construction. This knee-caps any protest movement from the inside, a reason the status-quo love and promote her.
The faux-left embrace Judith Butler because it locates change in the thoughts & words, performance which can be bought in the form of clothing, of individuals. It is hyper-individualism as promoted by neo-liberals such as Thatcher & Regan. Tote bag feminism is what I term it.
Butler and her woo woo shores up male systems and capitalist exploitation. This is why she is a star philosopher for the status quo and women like Dworkin struggled to get published by the left-wing media.
