Negating and ignoring the subjective experience of women is very root of the problem in question. You do realize you can criticize someone of being a bad actor without aiding and abetting sexism.
Can't you?
Or would you have me believe that criticizing, say, the Black Panthers or the IRA for their actions is basically racist, too?
Also, white males quoting MLK at minorities to get them to behave is so cliche, it's actually a pretty reliable signal of bad faith.
And not learning anything from illuminating, historical analogies, and the wisdom of luminaries from those struggles, is evidence of willful ignorance.
The fact that you assume I'm a "white male", and therefore that my quoting a black man is "cliche" is also borderline racist... Would it have been better if I quoted Ghandi? Jesus? Which leaders espousing views of peace, justice, and understanding in the face of adversity would you prefer I'd have quoted, given your assumptions about my gender and ethnicity?
