see also 'wait, I thought they just cared about fairness in women's sports?' and also 'hold up, this seems more like promoting segregation than just being concerned about DEI workshops'

The thing I don’t get about this is, who is this kind of coverage for? They’re not placating anybody, they’re pissing off their readers, they’re abdicating their journalistic obligations…who’s the audience for this?

it's not for anyone. it's a way of thinking and acting that is its own self-justification

Setting fire to your own house because you’re the only one who’s figured out that destroying yourself is good, actually.

Yeah unclear to me who it is for. Seems like people who have taken all the wrong lessons since Trump got into politics. Can't call a spade a spade because then *we're influencing things!*
