No. I will not back down from calling spades spades because I represent no group, only speak for myself, and I am under no obligation to alter my views or politicize my actions because of vague backlash reasons (you interestingly avoided telling me why you were urging me throughout that entire comment, if you read carefully).
You might have identified a box into which to label and place me, but I assure you that I remain independent of all labels; my opinions are not based in feminism, yet our views happen to align in this case. I am not championing a cause that requires me to convert anyone. I am calling a representative of The Red Pill an idiot for attempting a cogent argument in their defense on Hacker News. If I were defending feminism, I'd be operating much differently.
Attachment to a group and worrying about the group is a prison from speaking about what is important to you in your own way.
Put yourself in my shoes for a moment. Consider, after a brief period of calling out someone for speaking positively about a hate group on Hacker News, coming back after moving on to find a directive to stop and a comment from a former Reddit employee and administrator calling for the thread to be censored.
I'm not sure what I did. If you'd like to follow up via e-mail, please do. I'm concerned.
