I think there's a difference between writing about something where one generally accepts that there can be differing views held in good faith (eg what's best for the economy? what's best for the Middle East? what's best for parenting? which tends to be treated as a "women's issue") versus a subject such as racism where one is less likely to see those who differ as doing so in good faith. On the question of "what's best for racism?" presumably some equivalent of "lower taxes" (like "pretending racism doesn't exist") would not be deemed possible to be suggested in good faith. That doesn't mean that one shouldn't write about the latter kind of subject as much as one wants and one's audience will read, only that I think Coates's comparison is questionable.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.com
