most likely they are completely honest, so there is only partial calling them out on their attack. And we get attacked when we were not attacking any democratic position on any issue, but simply that our issues are used against us by outsiders. It is tough. But better to plug along and call out the most blatant wedge issues - I think. Even that Harry Potter actress stood up in front of the UN to call out misandry. And I thought then...it could easily be bullshit and here someone is standing at the UN calling it out, as if hating men is in the hearts of women and a sudden plague around the world, which it is not. And I said...I gotta say something.

She isn't anything of the kind, and she's one person on twitter. A weird target for your obsession.

No, I've read your posts and noticed a disturbing pattern. Do you obsess on her elsewhere?

"Is the reason you're obsessed with her because she's a feminist of color?" What?

You mention her frequently and out of proportion to her prominence. You omit other feminists

So why do you keep posting about a woman on twitter because of a year old hashtag you disliked?

And unfortunately, calling this out sometimes has consequences. Some will *not* take this well.

Are you seriously saying that discussions of white privilege are false flags?
