suggesting that any and all criticism towards any woman on the internet simply must be based on her gender

I haven't said that. In fact, I specifically said "I wasn't critiquing their points."

I have to think you're being deliberately obtuse. This is actually why I'm being condescending: I don't think you're an ally. You are, in your own way, doing the rhetorical ducking and weaving that I'm pointing out.

For example, did I say that gamergate participants were career politicians? Do you think I think they had the ability to pass laws?

then I'm fundamentally asking the same question as you. Why are these people spending so much of their energy defending her?

Uh. Sexism is bad, I think. I believe I've been told that.

If you disagree that sexism is happening, then okay. This still answers your question. What more is there for me to do here? Would you like me to give this answer a 4th time?
