Ffs! Shocking that this take down has to be written.

After reading the paper being "taken down", which is not unreasonable in its approach, I feel this is a case of the "the lady does protest too much".

The piece is essentially just calling for better wording and use of terminology, surely just because it can be read or seen as "wokeist" is not a reason to "cancel" its publication?
