>I think this movement will let off some steam and people will stop taking it seriously, but I don't think it is unfair to worry that they will take real positions of power in the future.

They're very highly active, and in control of, many student unions throughout say the US and UK. Student union reps often go on to become politicians, so it is indeed something worth worrying about.

Especially since their movement is based on dividing people and making one group the oppressor and the other the victim, even if such perceived oppression has no basis in reality.

Their movement has entirely turned against gay men now and blasts them as being "oppressive". They're almost as bad about FTM transsexuals. There's really no telling where it goes next. Most bizarrely though is the vast majority of the division is being carried out by largely straight, white, middle class or higher women at the helm.

I think the bigger fear is that they'll take small positions of power in not-so-transparent organizations, like in academia. They'll have their own little fiefdoms where they can have witch hunts without a lot of press.

I don't see how someone like that would actually win office. Too insane.
