Maybe you shouldn’t have included a link to the astonishingly and refreshing open look at the issues we face in the workforce and society that, in the end, you simply choose to censor because it doesn’t fit into the current (and I’d say toxic) feminist narrative. Perhaps the honest questions raised challenged too many of your pet beliefs which are largely unchallenged and where the only ‘good men’ are the ones that toe the feminist line and “lean in”, apologize for “male privilege” while upholding “female privilege’” and male gender roles and obligations as a payback for the supposed millennia of abuse and oppression they subjected women to.
I wonder if as a liberal feminist you even get that the cartoon you included in your article could refer to any of your favorite shows, narratives or agendas not just the ones you find? I wonder if you get that the manifesto is a response to decades of your own brand of ‘free speech” that many people “find offensive” and is a gentle form of “yelling at”, “banning”, “boycotting”, “not listening to” YOU? I wonder if you get that it is ok for other people to show you the door and think your opinion makes you an asshole? think his “manifesto” should be published on the front-page of The Times and be made required reading in Early Childhood Education. If that makes me a “misogynist racist” then I gladly accept that. I’d say your resistance to it makes you a misandrist though-control bully. The fact that you actually believe there should be some environment where rational editorials questioning your orthodoxy should not even be allowed to exist is, frankly, terrifying.
