They can’t handle any evidence contrary to their beliefs and that’s because women tend to be more supportive of authoritarian ideas like restricting offensive speech. Feminism drives all of wokeness.

"The origin of the family, private property and the state" By Friedrich Engels pretty much sets out the crucial link between Feminism and Marxism, the latter purports to be a theory of everything. In Europe and the UK the feminism of De Beauvoir and Greer etc. is explicitly derived from these Marxist roots and so fuels the way feminism has an answer for everything and a goal "the eternal classless (communist) society. To be fair most "popular feminists" (as opposed to those in academe) parrot De Beauvoir lines without really understanding the theory but more as adding "gravitas" to what are usually just whining about their lives and jealousy of males. Everything (apart from actual changing sex) that is in the feminist agenda is right there in Engels' book. Now over 100 years old re reading it recently I was struck how contemporary its contents are in terms of modern feminism.

"Feminism drives all of wokeness." Correct. And feminism is the top down creation of a HR department for the new world order i.e. feminism/women as a first class citizen/agent of every sphere of social/family life for the bureaucratic hellscape forming today. This is why stopping it will be so difficult, unseen hands are at play here.

Feminism as the nurturer and nourisher of wokeness may be a more apt description.

The academic underpinnings of wokeness are in feminism, though. That’s where critical theory first took hold and then made its way through other departments like area studies, ethnic studies, history, etc.

That taking hold of critical theory - as the feminists' baby, so to speak - is what I meant by the nurturing and nourishing. I made the allusion to typical feminine traits as a way of suggesting that feminism is a misdirection, perhaps even derangement, of those traits.

But the cosmic sperm of critical theory didn't come from feminism.

Critical theory copulated with feminism, but I think feminism is still the cosmic sperm of intersectionality (which is in a throuple with critical theory and feminism).

An incestuous throuple. Mediocre people will stop at nothing to try and be original.
