Hm. As a practical matter, if I had an ideological goal (e.g., destroying gender) and came to believe that expertise in a particular technical field (e.g., biology) were necessary to make optimal progress in that goal, I would probably be more inclined to work towards convincing experts in that field to adopt my goal (whether through rhetoric or money or social engineering) than towards becoming an expert in that field myself.
