        @avantgame I glad that you think it's organized. I often imagine it to be intrinsic spontaneous douchbaggary. I guess I'm more cynical.

        @avantgame Don't worry, on a long enough timeline, everyone who is passionate about anything gets rounded on by the 4chan trolls.

        @avantgame it's very unfair to you. Your talks are very inspiring and that has nothing to do with gender, some ppl still live in middle age

        @avantgame the irony of it is that these anti-feminist tweets just make these guys look bad and reaffirm that there IS a problem here.
