        @avantgame In the last twenty tweets or so he's discouraged "friendzone" language and advocated equal participation of women at conferences.

        @jimmiepursell maybe he tweets nice things about women sometimes but it feels like he aims his tweets at men. felt this way since he joined

        @avantgame So @josswhedon isn’t feminist enough for you? That’s the biggest 1st world problem I’ve heard all year.

        @avantgame I stopped following him because he seems a bit full of himself. I'm not that keen really.

        @avantgame ...obviously, context neutral and highly unscientific, but most mentions seemed positive. Spreadsheet available upon request. ;)

        @avantgame Also, b/c I was curious / waiting for other data to process did an audit of his last 150 tweets: 60% female (57% if unique).
