So is the author of this just straight up a white supremacist? I think so. By your logic we should all just blindly let people with privilege and power do and say whatever they want, even when it is harmful. I'm sorry that you don't want to approach the world critically because you are lazy, but some people do not have a choice. They are trying to change a game that they were never meant to win. The critiques being measured against all of the white women you mention are not "cold blooded personal attacks". I have a feeling that the reason you are so mad about these women receiving criticism is because the critiques are coming from people of color. A white person critiquing something is always celebrated. A person of color critiquing something from their own standpoint of experience within a white supremacist society is always seen as just a "complaint" that they should get over. They are valid critiques which you only label as such because they attack and threaten your own complicity within white privilege. Maybe instead of feeling attacked by critiques you could listen and learn from people who have different life experiences than you, which is always appreciated and has a far better outcome then just "brushing off the haters".
