So now we have an ignoratio elenchi, a petitio principii, and an ad hominem. That's a lot of fallacies to squeeze into one comment, bravo! Let's take them in order shall we?

  1. ignoratio elenchi - whether or not feminists are tolerant to Islam is not something the articles discusses. You're diverting the argument
  2. petitio principii - I'm intolerant because you say I'm intolerant. Right…
  3. ad hominem - refusing to watch propaganda with links to right-wing fascist media does not make me close-minded

I'd say the modern version of the "woke" resembles more Marcuse than Popper, although both of them seem to advocate for superficially similar ideas.
