Piece of shit.

Classic case of a White Male's word being taken above his actual ACTIONS, which stayed awful and shitty the whole time. The privilege of being taken at your word, no matter what. Prick.

Hon, his stuff wasn't even that good. Any relationship that he didn't like was apparently just us women with our tiny brains not seeing how misled and controlled we were by engaging in relationships of our choosing. He didn't like non-white feminists at all.

What's really rich about this is that he wrote some long-winding article about how all women who get with men older than a few years are really just being abused and we're too stupid to see it... while he's off cheating on his wife with a girl half his age. Guilty conscience, much?

Yeah 'cause his stuff wasn't his stuff. It's his content, which is just regurgitated from other people's work, that's still good. 'Cause all professors reiterate info haha.

You should've seen the things he'd say. "My wife is beautiful and gorgeous and blah blah blah. We're so in love." I wonder how he felt saying that while cheating with someone else. So horrible.

His stuff that wasn't good. I'm sure what he said was said numerous times by women years before he said it. Reminds me of the "does this white man deserve credit" flow chart. And I'm not surprised he shitted on WOC and white women continued to give him a platform for it. Yes he may have a mental illness, but that should never excuse his shitty behavior.

But I loved the #solidarityisforwhitewomen twitter trend that followed after this meltdown.

Do you happen to have a link for this flowchart? Googling it didn't turn up anything.

I reblog is on tumblr and can't find it in my archives. But it was basically:

"Does this white man deserve praise?"

Did a POC/Woman say it already/before?-----> No ------> Yes they did go google it----->He does not deserver praise
|

Yes ------> He does not deserve praise

[amber_protocol]

Sounds pretty accurate to me.

How is anybody on the internet shocked by this. Honestly.

[belleweather]

I know, right? I was like... didn't we learn about this a while ago, and had to check the date on the post and the source.

Scumbag is a scumbag. This is not news.

I'm surprised he admitted to being one though. That he is is well known and documented. But the meltdown? I am surprised.

Hope he stays away from feminist sites, articles and women's studies/gender studies courses.

"Admitted" while making sure to subtly emphasize that its not REALLY his fault because he's manic and mentally ill and lets not forget suicidal since he manages to insert that in there every 5 tweets or so. He's exhibiting typical abuser pattern of abuse/ask for forgiveness/threaten to self-harm when forgiveness not accepted/ convenient psychotic episode/self-harm that isn’t REALLY dangerous to him, apologize again. He knows how that narrative goes, and is playing it for attention. FFS, in the middle of all his silent amending all over twitter he managed to insert a plea asking for the end of "internet take-down culture", yet has never been able to come up with a single incident worse then people not wanting to hear his crap. What an obscene narcissist.

Gross.
