This article ignores the fact that Kendall has been a controversial and polarizing figure. On February 17, 2014 the Nation Magazine published an article written by Michelle Goldberg (now with the NYTimes) called Feminism's Toxic Twitter Wars which included criticisms of Kendall and quotes from Kendall, for example:

An Army veteran, graduate student and married mother of two in Chicago, Kendall is both famous and feared in Internet feminist circles. Mother Jones declared her one of the “13 Badass Women of 2013”—along with Wendy Davis and Malala Yousafzai—for her creation of the #solidarityisforwhitewomen hashtag. But as Kendall well knows, many consider her a bully, though few want to say so out loud. “I kind of have a reputation for being mean,” she says.
