Holy shit, right? I mean what horrifying racist sexists does Medium allow on their platform? It reads like a Klan or MRA magazine table of contents. What a country crock of poisonous bigotry and misogyny.

Oh. Wait.

The actual headlines were all about white men, not blacks or women.

That makes it completely fine. Or does it?
