William Shatner, also known as the original Captain James Tiberius Kirk in Star Trek, went were few men have gone before, battling man-hating social justice warriors online and never backing down.
The 86-year-old actor showed no signs of slowing down this past weekend by responding to a few feminists on Twitter who called Shatner a misogynist.

Funny how an actress with an impressive resume is belittled by same “feminists” who say that an 86 yo man telling the truth is a misogynist. https://t.co/MNNv0o8JpJ

Why did you string ppl on ab this for over a year, leading to more bullying and ugliness for so many? We didn’t deserve Paul & Shatner.

It’s a bizarre set of exchanges happening. Yet, liberal and progressive fans of Sci-Fi, particularly Star Trek, are disappointed in Shatner’s political stances given the fact that he starred in a very socially progressive show in the 1960s.
Why is it that SJW’s think they can align themselves with those that demanded social reform in the 60’s? https://t.co/6CRVzawgLG

Back in April, Shatner got into it with feminists online who repeatedly questioned his values. He shut them down instantly.
Feminism is great but terms like toxic masculinity are degrading. It borders on that imaginary concept to feminists: misandry. ? https://t.co/capA1J4q44

When asked about how feminists never speak highly of masculinity, Shatner rebuked that by saying it wasn’t until “third wave” feminists went scorched earth on men teetering into misandry.
I disagree. The original feminist movement was about equality. Somewhere along the line a few decided differently. They are the exceptions. https://t.co/Dgy9rGuVhj

While Shatner has become a huge letdown for progressive Sci-Fi fans, he hits the nail on the head with respect to how feminism today treats anything masculine as evil. Even liberal outlets like Gizmodo (the old Gawker affiliate) tried to depict Shatner as a Nazi because of how anti-PC he is.
Liberals and progressives have bigger fish to fry than to continue on their crusade of calling men “white supremacists” and “misogynists.” They’ve hardened their position so far to the left since Trump was elected that, on Monday, DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján announced that they would no longer have a litmus test and would even fund pro-life candidates in an effort to move to the center. This brand of divisive, call-out politics has been such a drag on Democrats that they’ve finally decided they don’t want to be a part of it anymore.
