    I was ignorant but curious.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Wolf

    She’s got a Doctorate of Philosophy in English Literature from Oxford, is a feminist author, and conspiracy theorist. At a glance I can understand why she’s developed a reputation of a certain color.

    Care to share any specific grievances?

      Oh wow, I’d heard of her positively in the past, but yeah, she’s really summed up as “a conspiracy theorist who found feminism first”. Even where I agree with her, she’s definitely not who I want representing those ideas.

      She once suggested periods happen due to vaccines. Likes complaining about 5G in her spare times too.
