This is par for the course for "because it's 2017"-style activism to the point that traditionally "liberal" writers and thinkers are being sacrificed at the alter for not "checking their privilege" or kow-towing to the SJW cause du jour. If you are white, heterosexual, and male (cis) - sit down, shut up, and feel shame. The only reason you could be in a position of power is because of your colonial past and you should resign immediately so someone who is not affiliated with systemic oppression can lead for a change (read - not male, not heterosexual, and preferably not white).
