Calling someone names is just a way to shut down conversation tbh
It's how I feel about any conversation where words like "bigot", "Homophobe", "racist" or "ignorant" are used. These are just buzzwords you can throw at someone to shut them up. They actually add nothing of substance to the conversation and give no argument as to why the person is wrong. You can add "radical feminist" to that list too, it bakes the same.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
