| Helen Clark: "Women should stick together. But not those women!" |
"According to the NZ Herald this morning:'Former Prime Minister Helen Clark has described the departure of former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern from politics as “devastating for women around the world”.'"Not this one. ...
"Clark's comments relate to the abuse that women politicians have to endure and how they must stick together and build networks to protect themselves.
"When I had a brief fling with political advocacy, and later campaigning for ACT in 2005 and 2008, not many women wanted to stick together with me."~ Lindsay Mitchell, from her post 'Why I disagree with Helen Clark'

Indeed. Your identity as a member of a supposed disadvantaged group only confers sympathy and support if you're sufficiently conformist, in having the 'right' politics. Otherwise you're seen as a traitor to the cause. Another example would be Brooke Van Velden being called a c***, or the way Nicole McKee & Karen Chhour are treated even though they're both women and Maori.
