Thanks. So why do you think this article is worth reading? Because having read it, I thought is was completely lacking in competent journalism or persuasive presentation of an argument—it was nothing more than a castigation of the tweets of four supposed "leftist feminists" as a surrogate for castigating all "leftist feminism."
I guess the "Freak Out" in the hyperbolic headline should have clued me in; I didn't see any "freaking out" in the tweets.
And yes, I would have reacted the same way if the headline had been said "Right-Wing Mysogenists Freak Out."
