Remarkable Twitter thread in which a young female writer is told she shouldn't critique another young female writer's comment piece because...of the 'power dynamic' of their Twitter profiles.
I, for one, cannot wait to see what the Identity Politics lot come up with next.

And any young writer should welcome the debate and exposure. That’s what we’re all here for after all
But it wasn’t a debate. The writer said “old people are lonely and the bbc can’t really afford to pay for this, the government should do something” to which the editor said “I guess you don’t care about young people”. That’s not debate? It’s a classic case of a failure to debate.

Well her point was a bit more nuanced: that young people face issues as great or greater than elderly people. It was expressed sarcastically because that’s what people do on twitter for retweets, so fair enough taking exception to that. Still, age/gender/followers not relevant
