The backlash has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the premise.

I guarantee if you look at the people complaining, none of them are black.

Same reason they get so mad about To Kill A Mockingbird - because it portrays women in a light that counters years of propaganda, but can't be cancelled because it's a key part of history that healed racial divisions.

Feminists built a whole propaganda apparatus that is built around quick indoctrination of children, and it doesn't cope with cracks in the facade well.

I'm surprised they haven't tried to cancel MacBeth, the story of an evil woman who pushed her husband to kill so she could have a higher status.
