At the same time, race is another imagined social construct, but racism isn't solved by turning a blind eye to white supremacists.

Pick up artists et al. are sexists, pointing that out is not perpetuating the gender binary.

Yes, and the solution to white supremacists isn't to blame white people. While they are the primary proponents, no descriptive group should be blamed for its worst members. Whether it's whites, blacks, "nice guys" or otherwise.

I don't understand what you mean here. There are no pick up artists in this comic. Do you consider the person on the left in this comic a sexist? If so, why?
