Gender politics are interesting because they are mostly just a source of in-fighting within various factions of the left [1] but because they cover a set of topics that seem so foreign to the right, it gives them lots of ammunition for cruel memes to distract themselves from their own internal struggles.
That said, it's a nuanced issue that touches a lot of aspects of life and effects more people than one would initially assume. It's very much worth sorting out, but it's the kind of issue that's easily going to be derailed by toxic personalities because much like guns and religion, it's an attack on one's self image. If you're a billionaire wanting to cause havoc to prevent wealth taxes or environmental regulation, throwing money at either side of this cause seems like a pretty good way to get high political-chaos ROI.
