The erosion of universalism - the ideal embedded in our systems that people should be regarded as individuals and treated the same regardless of their identity - is already having a malign effect on politics. Younger voters in the U.S., for instance, are becoming increasingly polarized on gender lines. And it doesn't matter whether the source is gamer gate trolls or the zealots who denounce gaming culture as misogynist, the effects are the same: every instance of maligning entire groups only throws fire on the problem, regardless of who is being targeted.
Why is it so hard to promote the idea of not maligning
anyone based on their group identity?
