Sounds like another "political correctness gone mad" opinion piece. I don't buy it. Oppressed people do not have to take the feelings of oppressors into account, nor should they. Most men are misogynist. White people are racist. Sorry if that hurts somebody's feelings.

Don't worry I'm not offended

Personally, I think the left should continue to consume their own. Not only does it directly reduce their number, and intimidate others away from participating; but those who are victimized by this process, and survive, sometimes become powerful anti-left speakers.

There is a negative aspect to it as well, however. For example, there's a number of people saying that if you're a man, you should avoid walking directly behind women or close to women so that you don't intimidate them.

This is a funny sentiment, that people will cite as an example of "the absurdity of radical leftism", that a conservative can't help but be puzzled by. It's a "radical leftist" concept to be mindful around women? To recognize that they might be intimidated by the presence of a man? This is common sense conservatism.

Do we need to be nicer to you to keep you from going to the Right?

Actually, yeah. :)

Seriously, are you that sheltered on-line? Twitter, tumbler there's a whole internet out there.

They aren't going to own up to anything, dude. They're just going to attack you now like the OP describes because you dared go against the hivemind.

God is actually willing to forgive.

It's funny because it's true.
