I can see that in other comment threads – on articles that aren’t about gender, race or sexuality – people have interesting and forward-thinking conversations. I’m disappointed that I’m rarely privy to the same. Most of what I get are different iterations of the same two sentiments over and over again: I’m dumb; feminism is a waste. On a good day, I might have someone say an article I wrote isn’t a total piece of garbage “like usual”. It’s hurtful, but even more than that, it’s boring.
