I find this to be particularly true with modern feminists, I don't think they have ill intentions but as a group they see to suffer from overcorrection and start touching subjects outside their understanding, the abuse was clear on some subjects so they extrapolate those findings on everything else, if you show a modern feminist that most homeless and most suicides are overwhelmingly done by men any sort of rational discussion it's thrown out of the window, or correlations with poverty or any subject that isn't gender, pointing any of those correlations it's perceived as an attack and not any longer any intelectual pursuit, the tribalism kicks in and it's impossible to take it out.

True for most people on the left today. For example, they don't like Elon Musks personality/politics (which is fine, very understandable), so they are completely unable to objectively evaluate his achievements. Because they don't like him, he must be stupid, and therefore they must find reasons to dismiss anything he's ever done. It's almost comical to watch. There is no amount of evidence that can change their mind. First hand accounts from the engineers working under him, multiple biographies, at least 5 companies worth more than a billion dollars, two in the hundreds of billions. But no, it's all luck or fraud. Maybe he's an evil Forrest Gump? Honestly, seeing this kind of brain rot is kind of radicalizing in itself. You start to question what other views you've adopted are just group think and emotional reactions.
