Feminism's Last Fifteen Years: Unresolved Gender Crisis and the Case Against Heterosexualism
By
Samantha Hancox-Li
Summary
The article examines the trajectory of feminist activism over the past fifteen years—from Slutwalk and Gamergate through #MeToo and the Women's March—and argues that despite massive mobilization, gender relations remain deeply polarized and unresolved. It critiques "heterosexualism" as an ideology that distorts genuine heterosexuality, suggesting that saving heterosexuality requires dismantling the oppressive structures that have been built around it. The piece reflects on how men and women are increasingly diverging politically, economically, and socially.

Feminist activism brewed in subcultures, broke out into the mainstream, churned out an astounding slate of new ideas, marched by the millions, and now—it feels—has subsided, been subsumed or subverted or defeated, depending on your perspective.
The crisis of gender relations seems, if anything, more intractable than ever.
Men and women are scrolling apart, diverging politically, economically, socially.
