I keep saying a problem with the left is tolerating this kind of nonsense. This guy feels comfortable describing himself as a lefty and not an MRA, but then goes straight MRA to attack Mona Eltahawy, who has done far more than he ever will. https://twitter.com/shahjoffe/status/1249620631727026177">https://twitter.com/shahjoffe...
Obviously there is no singular leftist movement, but the people who insist upon class reductionism and trash talk "identity politics" often practice precisely this kind of identity politics - whether defending misogyny, transphobia, racism, ableism, fatphobia, or anything else.
Somehow the real problem tearing apart the left isn& #39;t the people who treat others as less deserving of dignity and respect, but the people who insist upon that dignity and respect. As far as they& #39;re concerned, it& #39;s just not right that privilege isn& #39;t privileged.
Wild that a self-proclaimed lefty thinks that attacking a woman of color as being "too angry" and man-hating is both reasonable and a leftist approach. Dude sounds exactly like Rush Limbaugh screeching about "feminazis."
