<p>I lost a friend over my article about the murder of Renee Nicole Good. </p><p>He was angry I called out the underlying misogyny. </p><p>He was mad I didn’t give ICE the benefit of the doubt. </p><p>He made it personal. </p><p>He told me my “stupid clown hair” is why people don’t take me seriously</p><p>Everything he said to me was dripping with disdain and misogyny. </p><p>There was no debate. </p><p>There was no respectful disagreement. </p><p>In under five minutes he had attacked my intelligence, my politics, my appearance and my writing.</p><p>This is not normal behaviour.</p><p>He literally proved my point. </p><p>Had I taken the bait I’m convinced that I would have been called a “f*cking b*tch” by the end of the conversation. </p><p>This is what MAGA is doing to men. </p><p>It’s emboldening them. </p><p>It’s validating their bigotry.</p><p>I assume this person was always hateful and misogynistic on some level … but now he no longer feels he has to hide it. </p><p>He literally said as much. </p><p>He said “I never told you in the past because I wasn’t allowed.
