Avengers Director: Rumor I Quit Twitter over Feminist Harrassment ‘Horsesh*t’

[el_bryanto]

16. A few points

1. He isn't complaining about Feminism. He is instead saying that he didn't quit Twitter because of Feminists - indeed he points to Feminist Frequency's Anita Sarkeesian as having reached out to him. I don't know if you are familiar with Ms. Sarkeesian but she was part of the whole Gamergate mess. While there is an element of "see - some feminists like me" in his reference to her, there's also the fact that Sarkeesian has been lambasted by the geek community for pointing out (accurately) that many games have sexist elements to them (and worse). And he's backed her up in the past.

2. He is 100% correct when he says "Every breed of feminism is attacking every other breed, and every subsection of liberalism is always busy attacking another subsection of liberalism, because god forbid they should all band together and actually fight for the cause."

3. You are the one who made the accusation that he was one of the boys who called the Black Widow a slut - I simply asked you to back up that accusation. If you can't - well you can move on to something else that he has actually done and suggest that this is why Joss Whedon - who has been one of the most openly feminist men working in Hollywood - deserves to be attacked for being insufficiently feminist. Frankly - if Whedon isn't feminist enough than there's little hope for anybody in Hollywood.
