Fuck it. Call it what it is.

Bigotry.
OWS was disproportionately affluent young white males.

There's a whole lotta concern in that thread. "Nuh-uh! Take it back! There were plenty of decent people in OWS!"

Notably no one saying; "What's wrong with progressive young white men, and why is this observation considered a slur against OWS and their message?"

Why don't men vote for Democrats? It clearly must be because they're idiots... totally not because we're hostile to them.

Remember how sexist it was when people talk about Hillary's hair or teeth?
