i don't quite agree w your assessment. wrt feminism he's usually pretty good about calling out his biases from past negative experience, saying he's engaging the worst aspects of online feminism, & ultimately concluding the concept is too fuzzy to be that useful for his point.
I agree that he's good at *saying* that he's biased, but I don't feel like that acknowledgement then translates into an actual engagement with the material or genuine charity or uncertainty in how he writes about it.

hmm. it's a point. i'm not sure what 'charitable' looks like though when you wish to comment on the selected worst examples which you identify as such. perhaps my standards for online discourse are lower than yours.

I think commenting only on the selected worst examples is itself something of a suspect and uncharitable move. Fortunately someone has already written about why, so I don't have to.
