Just to give an basic example, without the words "yes" and "no", logical reasoning is not possible. No science can tell us what they mean.

But crucially - urgently - the opportunity is not simply to be angry on their own behalf, but also at the injustices faced by other women, women who experience those injustices in part thanks to the very mechanisms that protect and enrich those white women. And in order for a new white wokeness to be integrated effectively into a contemporary movement, it must not take it over; there must be acknowledgement that white women are late to the party.”
