Having now seen a little of what you're upset about, I can see where your buttons got pushed. I crossed the line, at least in my first paragraph.
I am privileged to listen mostly to reasonable feminists, thus I suppose I forget the really insane ones are out there.
Apologies for pushing as many of your buttons as I did. But I was trying to express that there really is a lot of legitimate hurt out there, hurt that right now is seeing bad intentions everywhere (because some nasty surprises came out during the primary and there's a lot of trust lost as a result), and as a matter of cold political calculation, it may be worthwhile to tread carefully.

Which of course I did not do.
