Duffield's complaints that this is "unfair" and that she shouldn't have to just take it when she's being trashed online without being able to trash the little people back is a vivid demonstration of why she's unfit for office

The thing is if this exact scenario had played out with a female staffer resigning from the office of a male MP because of sexism you would never in a million years be talking about the MP's right to defend himself or carping about what counts as true retaliation

“If the sexes were reversed” is such a weak argument. You’re arguing against me for arguing at all, not my argument.

I'm arguing against you for defending an MP who's come under investigation from the union for abusing their staff! Jesus Christ

I’m trying to understand the accusation because it doesn’t make sense to me. There was no doxxing. There was barely a sort of recognition of a picture of the staffer, when approached on a public forum about the topic of the staffer by someone eff holding a picture of the staffer.

In a heated thread that all of Duffield's creepy TERF followers were piling into, yes It is utterly disingenuous to pretend this wasn't a threat - the whole "Oh, we don't stalk and harass, we're the good guys" TERF bullshit

The idea that you only just now "researched Duffield" in response to my tweet is an obvious lie, account with 0 following, 0 followers, and 0 tweets
