Did she really tweet that? I've been looking for it to find the context. My assumption is if it's real (and not just deleted) that she posted it partly out for attention and to poke fun at how easily triggered men online can be when they expect jokes about violence against women and rape or other dank humour is demanded to be taken as a joke, but the moment the tables are turned they go ape?
Even if that's the case though, right now, especially now, that's a really stupid thing to do.
She's an idiot at the best of times. I agree with many of her intentions but the path she takes I can't be on board with.
That said, less and less, I'm able to easily defend the notion of "the left have to be better" because bugger the right, they're not, why shouldn't they be replied to in kind.
Same with Trolls. Sure it's what they want, but bugger em, they deserve no respect or polite discourse when they've never even accidentally offered the same in return.
Edit: There are 2 deleted tweets earlier in this thread, it was likely one of them...
