It's unusually badly written, but I believe it's the standard misogynist notion that telling guys to stop being jerks to women is disempowering them. Unsurprisingly, I've never seen a feminist suggest it.

A great example of how crying about "cancel culture" is really just objecting to accountability.
Bob Baffert blamed "cancel culture" after his horse, Medina Spirit, who won the Kentucky Derby, failed its post-race drug test.

Hi, Andrea. This is textbook white fragility. Insisting that we ignore race after we spent centuries oppressing people on the basis of race is pro-white-supremacy behavior. Note where your "I don't see color" routine falls. And note what it supports.

One of my entirely unproven theories is that the "customer is always right" justification for bad treatment of service workers is a major contributor to the modern rise of fascism by giving a lot of people the taste of power that comes with having a servant caste.

I have received some criticism for posting this! I'll leave it here for others to judge:
This is how Men advocate for keeping women from self improvement.
Men explain to other men and help them improve, no one complains.
He wants to shame men who want to treat women as equal to men.
This is a backhanded way of hurting women's career and pay
Disgusting.

Holy shit, this thread. Everybody stand back, because I have some things to say. The first one being: Dantley, is this your first time *using* Twitter?
I’m really disappointed that some users spoke so disrespectfully about members of the team responsible for the new Twitter web site. Critcism on our work and decisions is fair game. Personal attacks aren’t. Ask yourself, what would your mom think of your behavior? 🤦♀️ is my guess.

A historian's take on this article:
1. The main problem I have with Magness's article is its air of "objectivity," when it is anything but, and its pretensions to be an omniscient arbiter. Also, he often refers to the five critics of 1619 as "the historians," which makes it sound like they speak for the rest of us.

Walker Bragman is an elitist fool. That's not what poverty looks like in rural Michigan. The homes on Dunn Road in Mnith have significant chunks of land in an area with rivers and lakes and forest and campgrounds.
This is the home of Joseph Morrison, one of the Michigan men recently arrested for his plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Can we acknowledge that maybe economic circumstances play a role in radicalizing people?
