It's incredibly depressing that you believe arguing about semicolons is more important than argument about human beings, power hierarchies, prejudice and the way these are encoded and expressed by the systems we create and use to influence and control society, but I guess it takes all kinds.

In general, people who complain about power hierarchies do not want an end to hierarchies. They just want the hierarchies to be reshuffled so that they are the ones on top. There are exceptions, there are certainly true believers, but for the most part it's just another tired power grab by another name.
its incredibly depressing ostensibly intelligent people get depressed about others having different points of view or set up fallacies of the excluded middle / xor fallacies where not warranted.
