I referred the the intellectuals as "cheerleaders," but in many cases they are also the advisers who are pushing and pressuring the policymakers.
The majority of IYIs are for whatever policy makers put forward because the idea of a benevolent and well-meaning State aligns with their world vision.
And of course, "we're just dismantling the evil capitalist patriarchy" is part of that cartoon world vision.

Lockdowns did hurt women more then they did hurt males, yes, but women still supported measures and I litterally seen no one blaming patriarchy for them.
