Ella Whelan: Anti-Feminism: The New Heresy
This seems pretty much exactly right to me.
I can't believe that people knuckle under to this stuff. And it's this outlawing of criticism, incidentally, that's helped fill contemporary feminism with such bizarre nonsense. Feminism doesn't have to be sane anymore because it doesn't have to be defensible because it doesn't have to defend itself intellectually: it's critics are simply shouted down.

This is what happens when a movement commandeers a name which objectively means something good. Public discourse is really bad at making theoretical distinctions past a rudimentary level so simply doing something stupid in the name of something ostensibly good is enough to throw discussion into a tailspin.
