This is a large part of my problem with some of the MVC writers. If you're a male, you're guilty. If you're white and male, you're really guilty.

I am a straight white male, and I know (and am friends with) many of the MVC writers. I even sponsored the latest issue. So I can say, empirically, you're wrong.

You seem like a nice guy, but I think this is about what arguments get deployed if you are perceived not to be toeing a specific kind of feminist line. Socially, in certain circles, you are not allowed to disagree or even question and maybe not talk at all unless you have some kind of special sex/race combination. And the same facts or arguments deployed will be acceptable or despicable depending on WHO says them.

As a white male, I've never encountered this when actually interacting with, well, any feminist I've ever met.

As a white male, I have.
