I don't understand. What do "feminists" have to do with this? There are a zillion different kinds of feminists. Did I miss something about this post, is it subtly anti-feminist?

To spell it out: just because someone seems unhappy writing about something, doesn't make them wrong, and it doesn't mean that they should stop writing about it.

I selected "feminists" as an "across-the-aisle" example.

Why are feminists "across the aisle" from this piece?

I think you already know that. You could try speculating a bit. It just sounds like you're playing dumb to try to catch me out on something at this point.

I literally don't understand what you're trying to say, which is why I asked the question.

You are fixating on the "feminists" when I just mentioned that they are an example. You can look up and see that I have said that. You know who Matt Taibbi is, so ... it just looks like you are playing dumb.

Instead of trying to explain things to you, I am going to ask questions and you can try to answer them.

1) Have you ever heard the phrase "across the aisle?" Consider this in the Congressional sense.

2) On what side or in what political party would you say that most of the feminists, despite their myriad combinations, would reside?

3) What side are the people who are against "cancel culture" on, generally? Again: as a trend.

4) Combining the answers to the first three, can you diagram out where the aisle is, where #2 is, and where #3 is?

5) What is the purpose of selecting an example from "the other side," generally?

Who are you speaking for here? I'm well aware of the political valence of feminism. I'm wondering why you seem to think Paul Graham is the anti-feminist side of this aisle. It's a simple question, I don't know why you're dancing around it.

Again you fixate on the feminism. Repeat after me: Feminism is one of many potential examples. It was selected at random.

And you didn't answer a single one of my questions.
