ARCHITECTS OF WOKE exposes the outsized influence of Judith Butler, the University of California at Berkeley feminist gender theorist famous for making the argument that gender is a performance rather than biological reality, leading to the notion that gender is an endlessly divisible spectrum that can have far more than two types, male and female, which is contradicted by substantial evidence. Butler’s theories, spread through dense, opaque jargon, gave birth to the notion that gender is subjective and non-binary, which some lesbian activists assert has corrupted feminism and harmed women. Butler is a powerful force in academe; she serves on the executive council of the Modern Language Association, which sets writing standards for high school and undergraduate students.Introduction: Capital Research Center
