I don't mind overreactions to gender issues. I mind reactions that actually retard our progress towards a more egalitarian and just society. Getting people to censor content you object to takes information away from the ongoing conversation. Personally blaming Ryan for sexism misunderstands gender norms and privileges as some sort of "original sin" people carry around.

The concerns are not bullshit, but the way they are addressed is. But they're not addressing the issue as human beings but as ideologues whipping a fallen humanity into shape, so what do you expect?
