Hi, I find your comment problematic for two reasons. 1) If you replaced "women" with "men" in that title, I'm sure you'd have no problem with it. In fact, no doubt you'd probably gleefully Facebook it to all your tweet snapchatters on Instagram. and 2) Milo is a homosexual. You speak from a position of straight white male privilege and as such you are in no position to judge his journalistic skills or even question if it should be considered journalism at all. It sounds like what you really want is to only classify "journalism" as "stuff written by privileged straight white athiestic males and females with a liberal bent".

I don't believe there should be a cap on anyone's education; male, female, or otherwise. I also don't think that Milo is qualified to define what the word "journalism" means any more than I am. I can write opinions on a blog or onto a piece of paper. That doesn't make my work "journalism." Neither does declaring that I'm a journalist or declaring that my work is journalism. Also, sexual orientation doesn't give Milo a free pass to write click-bait and pass it off as journalism. It also doesn't excuse him from saying misogynistic things. I will respect Milo's right to say what he wants. That's it.

> If you replaced "women" with "men" in that title, I'm sure you'd have no problem with it A complete fabrication. Brietbart actually published that article; your claim is about an imaginary person in your head. > Milo is a homosexual That doesn't make him any less sexist (or even less homophobic if that's what he is - many leading homophobes have been homosexual themselves). Being homosexual isn't some sort of license of credibility. Who he sleeps with doesn't seem relevant. It's interesting to me that people on the hateful right sometimes believe their own propaganda about how normal people think: That somehow we all walk around thinking that someone's sexual preferences can put them on a moral pedestal. Everyone is just people; some people's rights are abused at a much higher rate than other people's, so we try to do something about that - because they are people.
