TLDR: Author meets own criteria for bigotry, Medium should be better than this.

bigot

noun

  1. a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re arguing from the right or the left, when you consistently offer little but thinly veiled abuse for your opposition . Whether that is Trump supporters, men in general, or just anyone who doesn’t agree with your left of centre opinion — then I’m afraid you are a bigot.

Medium should be a place for discussion. No attempt has been made to dissect why women might want to vote for Trump, why they feel he’s the best option for them. No attempt has been made to make this a nuanced piece of writing — and Medium should be a place for articles filled with insight rather than rhetoric that plays to an existing populist fanbase.

Curators are going to start turning people off the platform at a rapid rate of knots if they can’t provide even the semblance of balanced curation.
