Comment Charlemagneor if those worlds and sagas yet undreamt should be stripped of all resonance, significance, and dignity until nothing is left but the high-pitched cries of a lone white man, squealing in vindictive delight as his space laser makes ’splosions.
Man, when the writer starts getting this aggressive about their point, it becomes incredibly difficult for me to side with them. They take it way too far and make it sound like men can't write anything with significance, resonance, or dignity, and that anyone that has won the award in the past got it by whining. It really just detracts form everything else they've written up to that point.

It seems weird that anytime an image of a woman's body is used for something, it's sexist. This author presents a very one-sided argument and excludes a number of details. She tries to frame how this industry is extremely sexist, yet she's only able to present a few very old ads and a blog. Other than the main person she was attacking and likely hurt the reputation of badly. Which appears to have worked since he was attacked on social media and now has people that don't even care about typography hating him and tarnishing his name. Internet activism at its finest.
She also complains about there not being "enough" women in the typography field without addressing why that might be. Her tone would imply that it's because this is some kind of "old boys' club" where women are shunned. It seems entirely more likely that women might just not be trying to pursue a typography career. It's a fairly obscure career choice.

If it's too hard for him, I'd be happy to take a few million off his hands.

See, I started feeling really uncomfortable calling myself a feminist when I started talking to people that call themselves one. I prefer to just say egalitarian or "for gender equality" since feminism is definitely centered on women. Which is fine, but there needs to stop being such a stigma against men's rights groups. Especially from so called "feminists" that are only looking out for themselves.

I've always considered libertarians to be almost my exact antithesis politically. Everything they believe in just absolutely baffles me. The beliefs are extremely self-centric with no consideration for anyone else's well being. I'm not sure if they just have a lack of empathy or what.

On point 3, wouldn't that basically be the same as saying "don't come into work drunk"? Isn't it just a given to not be completely out of it while at work?

So, you have a news article that cites a different article that is then citing a blog that only links to a University and not the actual study or any quotes. This could literally all be made up.
