      let's not pretend now that the "white supremacist patriarchs" are at all close in number to the PC left.

      No? How big is the PC left? Here, only 7% of ppl consider themselves feminist & that includes old-school liberals.

      I can't imagine myself ever saying something like that. no. I suspect conversation will be unproductive here.

      Fair enough. I was just arguing against a "moderation" that is just fallacious "balance".

      I think it wld be fallacious to compare ppl who ID as feminist with ppl who ID as KKK.

      thats the point. Modern feminism is sexist garbage. But you think it acceptable that 7% are self-professed sexists.

      if racists are as culturally relevant or as numerous as feminists are, then being a self-professed racist would be fine.

      It depends what company you keep. America just elected one. Seems to be fine. Doesn't mean all his voters agree.

      how is trump a self-professed racist tho? Or are you just parlaying his anti muslim/immigrant crap as blank racism?

      Oh good grief. He has discriminated on grounds of race many times. Not arguing this if you don't know it.

          I'm informed. He's certainly a crass idiot. But is he a self-professed racist? (I realize I'm on flimsy ground here)

          I am so sick of discussing Trump (I'm English) but have seen Americans provide good evidence of this.

          But a problem has been focusing on one man's words & actions & using this to define whole problem as racism. Its not.

          Many ppl support the right to say politically incorrect things without agreeing with the eg racist stereotype.

          I do too. Anyhoo, at this point I've lost the thread of the discussion. I also think we should strive for the center.

          I just don't think that's done by pretending an imagined problem is bigger than it is in order to appear "balanced".
