And mentioning the fact that I'm a man when I'm criticizing ANSWER is serious how??? I saw that tactic all the time back in the day: "Well of course you'd say that -- you're a man, and thus phallocentric, an oppressor of women and people of color everywhere." And this after I suggested the color of a flyer be light blue. It's a cheap trick to divert attention from said topic, "Identity Politics" (as if there's any other kind) gone awry.
