I see what you are saying, but I suggest the manner in which the author placed the words indicates it's probably just normative and an expression of her worldview than any kind of obsequiousness to a movement. It looks like it's something 'just written' in the moment as opposed to an academic concept. More vanguard that follower.
More likely a situation where an editor who saw the obvious inappropriate implication, would be fearful to call it out given the risk of being perceived as 'being on the wrong side'.
This is pernicious language, it needs to stop, I doubt people realize how damaging it is to their own cause and how they're probably losing more 'allies' than otherwise.
