I don’t disagree, but I think this is a particularly brilliant aspect of what Rufo et al are doing.
The fact is that critical theory is the weapon being wielded against all that is...well, good. Wholesome. Functional. Competent. Pro-social. Forward-looking. It is a toolkit for destroying systems and rendering them non-functional. It doesn’t matter what you put between the words “critical” and “theory.”
By drawing attention to critical race theory, and then pointing out that this can be used as shorthand for all manner of social ills - I have already seen various Ricks and Karen’s coming to their *own realization* that troonery is ”critical gender theory.” They have been provided the critical theory toolkit. Here is the pattern. You see it everywhere. You can take this idea and apply it to everything that has struck you as bizarre and fucky over the past decade or so, because it is all coming from the exact same ideology.
And so now they can use the critical theory toolkit to attack the system that is...critical theory.
ETA: consider articles demanding parents ask permission from their infant before changing its diaper, that claim having fathers in the home is white supremacy, the laws being passed to prevent parents from knowing or intervening when their kid is being groomed by troonery, the fact that these people are willing to do battle to preserve their ability to indoctrinate kids in schools and leave parents helpless to stop it...what is that but CFT? Critical family theory would ask you to consider if perhaps every aspect of the parent-child dynamic that seems “good” actually should be destroyed. And every healthy family pattern as well. Oh, and we can’t forget the clearly not organic rise of incest porn.
Families are systems, and CT exists to destroy systems. All of that is CFT at work.
