Hi there! I did take a look at your article, and I do have some words of advice. :)

First, it seems you are a new writer on Medium. It's fairly common for new writers to not receive many reads/comments/claps at first. For me, it took about 3-4 months of writing consistently (published around 10-15 pieces per month) before I actually got any meaningful response to my writing.

Second, from a writing-style perspective, you could use Medium's formatting (headings and subheadings) a bit more to make your ideas clearer. It just makes writing easier to digest, especially when discussing something controversial. (It also looks more professional.)

Third, I would also recommend not being apologetic in your writing. Word like "I think" or "I feel" weaken any argument. When writing on Medium especially, write your arguments as though they are true (because you believe they are). It's okay to ruffle some feathers or make some people uncomfortable. Don't apologize for it!

From one writer to another, best of luck! I followed you so looking forward to reading more of your work. Consistency is key!
