There was something distinctly unrelaxed about the way that Tony
Tulathimutte, one of the more talented young writers at work in
America today, announced the publication of “The Feminist,” a new
short story, back in the fall of 2019.

“To be clear in advance,” Tulathimutte wrote on Twitter,
“feminism is good, this character is not good.”

These days, when the faintest gust of heterodoxy is enough to
start an internet stampede, it may be wise to put some moral
distance between yourself and your protagonists, but as
Tulathimutte soon found out, it’s no guarantee you won’t be
caught in the crush.
