Look, I’m all about women’s right. I support empowering women, pushing back against the inordinate amount of power wielded by men at the top levels of business and government, and urging feminists to embrace all women’s needs and not ignore or downplay those of Black women and other women of color.

But when I saw the headline of a Huffington Post article titled “All This Piling On Susan Collins Is Kinda Sexist” in regard to criticisms of the Maine senator's vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, I thought I was seeing things. But no, there it was, written by a woman and there it was on social media: people agreeing with the sentiment that somehow sexism was to blame for lambasting Collins.
