It's a disruptive ideology that is intrinsically polarizing, especially when identity politics is introduced. If you take the short view, it's good for some, and bad for some, and some people will opportunistically use the ideology in self-serving ways.
If you take the long view, the "fashionable" parts of identity politics will fall away: the various shills, exploiters, and self-serving loud-mouths will begin to be ignored except among a hardcore cadre. But the status quo will have shifted to a situation that's more equitable for men and women.
Polarization and disruption are unpleasant while they're happening, but generally things swing back towards the middle, except that the middle will have moved slightly in a good direction (hopefullY).
