i don't agree that the behavior you describe is a 'dog whistle'.

A dog whistle is a hidden signal. I'd say what you are describing is a hidden agenda.

When people are discussing equality and you bring up tangential topics, you're labeled as an enemy. You understand that, right? If not, then it's time you learned about Deflection.

One, welcome to semantic dilution. Two, a hidden agenda that people share without discussing it. And three, not helping.

Sorry, I enjoy a culture of growth in understanding, so when I do something sloppy, I want to know. I don't assume I know everything.

I now get that isn't your thing, sorry. I don't spend much time on social media, so I forget sometimes.
