I basically agree with you. It's nearly always the people who are loudest/richest/most famous who are the biggest jerks, though. And no group of people, ever, has willingly given up privilege without being basically forced to do so.

I didn't mean to do the "they're not as bad" thing. Rather to say, it's not that they're liberals (if they are, I still have no idea what the PA guys would call themselves), it's rape culture. So some of us are learning now that we have a fuckload more work to do than we thought, considering even these people act like this. And in a way I like to think it's a good sign -- not so long ago our concerns would have been brushed off entirely. Now we're enough of a "threat" that they think they have to answer us. And they're pretty obviously terrified.
