    Does feminism require that women and men be indistinguishable? Are people who deny it sexists? http://quillette.com/2016/12/20/what-is-a-sexist/ … via @QuilletteM

        @CHSommers Feminism AND political correctness requires that men and women be indistinguishable. Reality says it just ain't so.

        Feminism as it exists today is a cancer of misandry and intersectional cargo-cult science.

        @ChristerEricson @QuilletteM I think you're sexist if you treat someone based on averages rather than the individual.

        Feminism stole the core of equality and pretended that it is it's own. Interesting read Mr. Pinker.

        @RealPeerReview @QuilletteM I see you are confused. An autoethnographic reflection on whiteness is the antidote to reason.

        this is the kind of thoughtful and nuanced approach that has left us at the mercy of Trump. Despite its accuracy.

        @DJGrothe @QuilletteM I think it's more simply accepting people for who they are and having a common respect for all peeps.
