It's interesting that the Judith Butler, Thomas Aquinas, and Martin Luther ones are very specific, but the Karl Marx one is super generic. Someone with good understanding of gender studies and theology but not dialectial materialism? But even the Althusser one is pretty specific too.

Does Judith butler actually think, like, femininity is fake and drag exposes it as such? Cringe if true, but I swear way too many trans people like Beyond Pink and Blue for that to be an actual take they had. Lots of these takes seem like wildly wrong specific interpretations of philosophers
