    I couldn't find that tweet -- is it fabricated? I did find this, from Molyneux: "It’s interesting that if you don’t have a uterus, you can’t have an opinion on women’s issues, but you can compete in women’s sports." Apparently this is offensive to SPLC?

    Right. Just as one should ask themselves whether each assertion written in Molyneux's wikipedia page is rhetoric, opinions, or facts, so too with that tweet. This is my point: almost no one really cares what is true or not, including acknowledging the shades of grey that exist everywhere in the complexity of reality. It's simply how the human mind works.
