Dr. Christina Hoff Sommers is a former philosophy professor, writer, and self-described "equity feminist", who is opposed to the misandrist views of contemporary mainstream feminism, herself supporting a pure form of egalitarian feminism. She is a resident scholar at American Enterprise Institute [1]. She found herself a supporter of GamerGate due to the fact that those feminists, who oppose GamerGate, are precisely the type of feminists that are at the center of her critiques.
