        @avantgame hardly. Comments, perhaps. But there is legitimate concerns about a millionaire parent having a $900 KS with a $10k stretch goal

        @avantgame This is the response Susan wants: a defense force that will come to the aid of her critics. It's exploitation of a valid movement

        @avantgame I'm a fan of your stuff, but frankly, your reaction is a bit cartoonish. It's not misogynistic to point out a scam.

        @avantgame I'm a bit confused as to why such a RIDICULOUSLY INTELLIGENT person such as yourself is taken in by this more than blatant scam.

        @avantgame It's great to know you support the naked attempts by rich scammers to co-opt feminist movements to line their own pockets.

        @avantgame with regards to the kickstarter, can we discuss the exploitation of the boys? Public humiliation of your own kids is bad.

        @avantgame Is it misogynist to question the legitimacy of kickstarters? Not like, "omg femenazis trololo" just "exercise due caution online"

        @avantgame It's mean spirited , yes. But it also brings up fair points and questions to ask. That in itself isn't misogyny.

        @avantgame Please explain how that article was misogynistic exactly. Is it because it's critical of something a woman did?
