> Why stop reading there?

I said 'almost'.

If you started reading a blog post on a topic and the very first example in the opening paragraph is a clear misinterpretation then it is quite natural to assume that the rest of the post will follow that trend. That's all part of critical thinking and the automatic assessment of trustworthiness any human being will engage when reading/listening to someone's ideas/opinions/experiences.

I gave the article the benefit of the doubt and continued reading; the rest of the post illustrates clear discrimination experiences so I am glad I continued reading.
