No, it's because a feminist felt uncomfortable about a non feminist.

Specifically an intersectional feminist. It's worth observing that Crockford's own intersections are that he's older, white, cis-male, an authority figure; which ticks just about every box for being an intersectional feminist enemy. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a fair bit of ageism, racism, sexism, heterophobia behind this, for him not being 'diverse' enough.
Indeed. And apparently, according to these people, we must hold Douglas responsible for being an old white male. It's his fault! He should have known better and been a young black woman instead. Obviously.
