    No. Reread what he said.

    He is not a feminist because they should’ve renamed themselves. That’s not a criticism, that’s a stance of someone masquerading as an ally it is a well-known position many men take so they don’t have to actually support the movement that works on their behalf.

    That criticism has been used to bring genuine resistance to the movement and the fact all these dudes in here still say/think this shit shows why this person is a dummy.

      Ok, but is that the case for this specific person? Or are you using the general trend to attack someone in particular who may not exhibit the negative traits you associate with their position? Condemning someone as a fake ally when they are not is not a good move for several reasons.
