>Outside of racism, sexism and homophobia, I'm not sure what you are referring to. Any examples?
The above would be a good example itself.
What's quite often branded "racism, sexism, and homophobia" could be nothing like a racist/sexist/homophobe bigot from 10-20 years ago, and just what most would consider totally normal then.
E.g. two guys making a "dongle" joke (when a dongle was shown on screen) among themselves at a conference, and being fired for it.
Or somebody believing a 6 or 10 year old child is not old enough to decide and be helped on things like "sexual transition" (and that in many cases it's the parents using it for their 15 minutes of fame and "you're so brave" kudos).
Or somebody calling out trans men who simultaneously identify as lesbians and want lesbians to have sex with them else they deem them TERFs, or want to compete in women's sports events
Or people who don't think asking to perform a sexual act, getting the OK, and then doing it (like Louis CK) is horrible sexism (or it is because you're more famous than the person who consented).
In fact even daring to question such cases (which wouldn't be considered bigotry or sexism or whatever 10 or 20 years ago, even among progressives), is enough to brand someone as a bigot. Heck, even someone like Camille Paglia gets the same slack...
