Of course “no one’s entitled to a link”. Justin says as a ’cis het man’ he doesn’t have much skin in the game & he didn't want to take the time to moderate a heated discussion on the site (he has posted several links critical of Kathleen previously though)

This might just be one poor judgement, but this story of people who put themselves on the line by writing careful analysis on this topic are shunned as too offensive for even the mildest endorsement is repeated in every sector of thinking.

And it makes it harder for those who have understood that there are real issues to speak up. It allows the debate to remain toxic, while those that could detoxify stand back and say ’see why we don’t want to get involved in that’ (and aren't those women angry?)
