>The problem with identity politics is that no progress is made. You are never going to convince another identity that yours should get special treatment.

It's the demand for special treatment and/or allowance for special behavior not tolerated in/allowed for others (and, conversely, not allowing others to receive the same special treatment) that causes resentment.
