      Kate Andrews Retweeted Sarah Manavis

      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. 👀https://twitter.com/sarahmanavis/status/1095369923889717249 …

      No because she’s not quote tweeting you to her followers and creating a strawman. Also the power dynamic is different between you, a featured editor with a blue tick, and a digital sub with a couple hundred followers and two well known women in the media industry

      Lol are you really going to get this mad about your friend who is an editor at a daily making a nonsensical argument that sicks her nearly 8k followers on a 23 year old with less than four hundred of them

      What are you her older sister? If you write something and put it in the public domain people will comment on it and some - the horror - will disagree. Grow up.

      Replying to @ariaclast @KateAndrs

      No but she wrote a really harmless piece about lonely old people, and an editor of massive paper quote tweeted her implying that she didn’t give a shit about young people. I’m standing up for her because I have a decent following and adding a bit more balance

      Replying to @sarahmanavis @KateAndrs

      Admirable I’m sure but you’re better off addressing the arguments than the identities of those involved (which you started off doing before getting sidetracked). If you don’t like someone’s tone that’s fair comment but again the relative follower counts aren’t relevant

      And any young writer should welcome the debate and exposure. That’s what we’re all here for after all

      Replying to @ariaclast @KateAndrs

      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.

      Replying to @sarahmanavis @KateAndrs

      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

          Ok, this is an awful forum for this type of discussion. Sympathise with your viewpoint (with caveats) but think your characterisation of Cunliffe’s retweet as an attack, and reference to power dynamics, was OTT. Not looking for an argument!
