There's no good reason for pyramidal, bureaucratic, "democratic" structures in a 21st century left political movement, just like there is no longer any need for printed membership cards.

As a woke father, I can affirm that harmful gender stereotypes are taught to children in kindergarten. "Spider-Male is for boys, and the Ice Queen is for girls." "No, boys and girls can like what they want. Don't believe everything you hear at school." This is kindergarten.

Comme aux USA, on commence à voir en France une "reactive orthodoxy", c'est-à-dire des gens qui veulent entrer dans l'Église orthodoxe pour des raisons idéologiques. Il y a une très belle mise au point à ce sujet dans la dernière lettre du vicariat français du Patriarcat Œcuménique.
