I don't think any of us feel "threatened" by these identity politics articles. Just a little sad that we still patronise women and minorities in this way.

Why do we see women and minorities as fair game to be tokens for our social engineering and clickbait?

Have we stopped to ask any of these women if they want to be on our special-interest gendered side-shows, or whether they'd prefer to be part of the "main" competition instead?

To me this is like entering female athletes into the paralympics on the basis of their gender. Without any evidence of their consent.
