Oh and looking at the responses overall there are five ppl explaining what frats are, so more than two. Katie said it felt like a pile on, so why's it necessary to get into it like that while talking about ur politeness, buddy?

Alex, if you want to make baseless accusations of sexism and “piling on” in response to a polite criticism about word choice, that’s your prerogative. But you might notice that it’s not just men who have an issue with describing the Proud Boys as a “fraternity.”

Nah man, I think it was used descriptively bc they're a hate group modeled after a frat style

Just saying it's not inaccurate to call them a hate group men's chauvinist fraternal society, and I've definitely described them as such before

Literally no one has made the argument that that’s an inappropriate way to describe them. What we’re saying is that simply calling them a “fraternity” covers what they really are— a hate group masking itself as a fraternal drinking club.

so just checking back a bit... IGD's described the PBs as alternately 'the “Western Chauvinist” fraternal organization of the alt-lite' and the 'Alt-Right fraternal organization'... i get that the editor taking out her reference to it being a hate group sux, but not her fault.

If it’s solely her editor’s fault, she didn’t have to defend it, and neither did you, but you both did, and here we are.pic.twitter.com/RGo4mZ01aL

if ur saying i'm defending them taking out the reference to hate group, that's totally off; i've repeatedly said that was a mistake. but i am saying they've been called fraternal organization or wtv by antifascist groups for a while too.
