I suspect because the word Feminist has been turned into a slur in the same was Liberal was a few years back.


There are also among egalitarians people like disenchanted Women of Color, who are ardent arguers for the rights of people of color and women, but they feel disenchanted with modern feminism.

There's poor and uneducated people who think feminism is becoming more elitist.

There's egalitarians who will argue to death that feminism has its priorities wrong.

The list goes.

The way you pretend your viewpoints are not only unquestionably correct (despite a consistent and total lack of both evidence and reasoning) but that everyone else's are uncommon and childish, is actually pretty cute. Keep it up, balk, I could do with some less-serious amusement. ;)

Then why do you give a fuck about some person voluntarily ceasing to use said "stupid fucking website?"

That's leaving out the fake tweets he "retweeted", since they weren't "interactions".

So why are you choosing to disregard them when concluding that he did nothing against the ToS?

It is not correct at all to say banning Milo is restricting free speech. Twitter is a private company, it has terms and conditions that users must agree to if they wish to post on their free service. Milo has has multiple suspensions in the past and he should have learned that his behavior is unacceptable. He can post whatever he wants on Breitbart, but Twitter has every right to deny him access. I do not understand how anyone can honestly believe that punishing a troll on a website that he agreed to follow the rules of by signing up can be considered "restricting free speech". Do not free Milo.
