Sadly, Mr Pinker, the sense of moral & intellectual superiority of today’s “liberals” has made many deaf to any critique of their narrative. Tribalism is antithetical to liberal/progressive philosophy, yet has completely subsumed the modern version. It has betrayed its own ideals

There is almost no internal critique of liberal progressivism today. Those like Pinker who do ask questions are shamed or labeled fascist sympathisers. As a result the movement has become increasingly delusional, devoid of introspection, with genuine thinkers too scared to speak.

Your timing is really questionable. Tone policing the left while politely looking away from the blatant show of identity politics staged by republicans yesterday is WHY liberals are doubting your motives.
-
If now isn’t the time for us to make the progressive left better, then when?
-
good point. I support anyone across the political spectrum who wants to get their own house in order. My mild critique was aimed at suggesting how his efforts might land badly right after the hearings. Not aimed at the effort itself, or the article.

Cool response - thumbs up

Personally I think the timing is perfect. Presuming guilt or innocence based on gender is as bad as basing it on race. This article explains why.

It had to happen when it happened because it happened when it happened

Yes, I know we're stepping on everyone else's rights, but you better always be 100% correct when criticizing me. Oh, the inhumanity! OK as long as you also demand 100% police accountability, 100% punishment for rape, 100% humane treatment of immigrants, you can rail on about IP.
-
OK. Well, since I do demand all those things, I will continue to critique identity politics. :) I didn't need your permission, but it's good to have it.

You are entirely tone-deaf from your Ivory Tower. We're out here marching and fighting and yelling to protect women's dignity and promote women's voices, and you're pissing on about overblown campus politics and some overzealous students. WHERE IS YOUR VOICE, STEVEN?pic.twitter.com/J2ykU1MECi

"We're" includes everybody courageous enough to voice their opinion and their opposition. Steven has a large platform. His voice could matter, if he would stop promoting his book for a second. So, on behalf of all of the protesters arrested yesterday, thanks for your silence.pic.twitter.com/J2kqjSlkFP

Wow. Usually takes a couple more tweets of me tearing down someone's flimsy argument for the personal attacks to come out. Bravo! A word of advice, Twitter is no place for the thin-skinned. If you need a safe bubble, go back to Facebook.

All we’ve achieved in the fight for the dignity of all people, regardless of tribe, skin, genitalia, ancestry, who you love, or who you are, flows from Universal Liberalism. To those with the courage to publicly advance its ideals: I’m with you. Who else will stand with us?pic.twitter.com/7UhKsactoC

Civil Rights Movement: people judged by the content of their character; Identity Politics: people judged by the color of their skin. What a betrayal of the original values. What a betrayal of Martin Luther King's message
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The quality of the dumpsters you got to dive was so much better than those dived by <oppressed group>.

And now I'm blocked. Shocking.
