So, I've been thinking, after the most recent rift among feminists - it always does seem to break down by who's friends with whom. X takes a position, and Y takes the same position (attacking anyone who takes another position) because X is Y's friend; it's usually as simple as that. But I'm thinking about how real friends will be brave enough to tell you when you've said or done something foolish or unhelpful. If Y is really X's friend, maybe instead of offering unconditional support and vilifying anyone who doesn't she might think about having a conversation with X about what taking their position means and how it's damaging the movement.
