You are probably correct on all your points. I a nuanced analysis the points you made are probbaly important and true. I think this is most a posting reflex I have from not leftist spaces. Like, with normal people they aren't against astrology because it is codified magical thinking. They are against it because it is feminine coded. Which, I think I project onto any criticism of feminine coded discourse. Like, it is this creeping thing where people have fully reasonable critiques of things that they have terrible reasons to not like. Like, how hilliary Clinton is a monstrous person but people are watching more critical of her than Bill. Where the only trend in the data is that people instinctively critizie women and minority coded things more. I dunno. I have been working on figuring out this emotion and I don't think I have quite worked it through fully.
