Hello
Im back with a dm update, he did reply and I had the least edifying “discussion” about sexism possible. The whole thing made me hugely pissed off and I felt a bit over invested so it took me a few days to come back with the update, sorry!
A quick summary is:
He said he wanted to know how “men could support feminism without being accused of hijacking a women’s agenda” plus some bullshit defence of iwd post (At least he said sorry, no one else did and the intention was lovely) and mumporn (he said middle aged actually).
I said he’s missing the point,his main problem was casual sexism, gave some examples from his posts and suggested he might want to address this, look at his male white middle class male privilege, do a bit of reading. Then I said similarly I expected Clemmie was examining her own (sub conscious ) attitudes about race.
He said he didnt agree with everything I’d said but thanks, literally nothing more about sexism etc. I had said considerably more than I did above, in a very carefully worded and polite way so was pretty pissed off that’s all he has to say. He then wrote a long reply about my one throw away sentence about Clemmie. Apparently she’s not racist, she was depressed, anxious etc etc after 3 years of horrendous abuse on chat rooms etc etc. He then said she wasn’t racist as what she said was based on personal knowledge of the person
.
I said I was disappointed he hadn’t replied to anything I’d said about sexism, he said there’s not much more to discuss when he’s said he agreed with me about everything (he didn’t say that, he said he didn’t agree with everything I’d said) “what more was I looking for?”
twit
That was the last I heard from him, so I wrote quite a long reply about how they both needed to understand that not liking someone doesn’t mean you can be racist, he’s hugely out of touch that’s why he’s loosing so many followers and also why the heck did they both keep posting their whole lives on line if Clemmie was so badly effected. Needless to say he didn’t reply.
Sorry that was really long. He’s a stupid, narcissistic
twit. Neither of them have got the faintest grasp of any kind of real life issue. I’m really shocked he thought not like Candice was some kind of defence.
