@hannu_ikonen @mekkaokereke I learned it from conservative anti-feminists who were trying to get me to be anti-feminist, anti-abortion etc.
Of course that's bullshit and it didn't work. But getting out in front and acknowledging things is one way to forestall that kind of argument. It doesn't work when they talk about how the Democrats used to be the Southern white supremacist party either, because everybody knows that.
