The same goes for the 'rape culture' warriors. If you are a male you are a rapist both potentially and in fact by dint of being male in a male dominated culture.

The truth is the Identity Politics Maoists, as I call them, are not interested in your thoughts or what you have to say in sympathy or solidarity with progressive forces in society.

No protest is acceptable.
