I dropped Feministing from my feeds at least a year ago for something regarding infertility treatment, can’t recall the details now.

Nope, you are 100% right.

That is the first time, in my memory, (and this is not a pat on the back or an excuse), that any apology other than “sorry we offended you” has come out of it.

I am still holding my breath on that whole tone thing, too.

Apologies are good; actually making a heartfelt one and understanding why you needed to apologize? Better. I would really like to see Feministing address the ableism issue in a main page post. Now, *that* would be an apology.
