No you didn't, because I actually recognize A) the structural inequality that still exists in liberal democratic societies based on gender B) that texts frequently reinforce gender power dynamics C) how retarded sexism is D) Have an interest in Feminist history E) Believe in equality.
Identity politics quite frequently frustrate me because of their potential to turn every identity group into wacky separatists. I don't think, that as a white middle-class man, I should be implicated as culpable in oppression of people, in the same way that a working class-black woman should not be assumed to be exploitable. People DO lose sight of that point.
