      These two statements are incompatible and @DiEM_25 members have a right to know where DiEM stands on this. CC @yanisvaroufakis @avilarenatapic.twitter.com/azXjy2PKDD

      DiEM25ers (women & men) could not be clearer on this: We are feminists fighting all discrimination/exploitation while celebrating difference

      I hear you. But this is not the message we present by having Julian Assange on the Advisory Panel given his views and comments on feminism.

          I’m done with them. They don’t have a diverse base b/c they don’t prioritise diverse needs. Excusing him because “diversity” is ludicrous.

          I know (& support) that’s why you didn’t want to be involved to begin with. What’s sad is they’re spot on otherwise. But can’t ignore this…😖

          No, you can’t. Also, Yanis gives it the “women and men” as if a) another man speaking for women helps b) gender is binary.

          He is absolutely right to speak on behalf of members of all genders in DiEM25, because he is paraphrasing DiEM25's statutes and manifesto.

          So to put the manifesto into action, will DiEM be publicly distancing itself from Julian Assange and his stance/words on feminism?

          They won’t, because the person replying to you RTs him uncritically.

          Interesting political move from your side, who do you want to dislodge from DiEM25 & why? stop using Julian Assange, you 'ethical designer'.

          Why is J. not allowed to point out that Some People use feminism to hide their real intentions ? Remember when Church couldn't be questioned

          This is the first I hear of DiEM. It seems interesting but imma steer clear because this response by Yanis is woefully inadequate

          JA in the advisory board is a no-vote-no-trust situation, hope @DiEM_25 reconsiders
