I'm confused here.

I thought that feminists wanted to prove that men and women were equal.

So... now we're supposed to believe that women are able to serve in infantry and military combat, but they're unable to deal with BS on Twitter?

Riiiight.

Either women are frail wallflowers who can't handle some abuse, or they're able to deal death in military situations. One or the other ladies, you don't get to choose both.

Personally, from the abundance of evidence we now have, I'd say that women should be put into nicely padded and safe environments, treated like the fragile creatures the feminists claim them to be, where women need "trigger warnings" so that they don't get the vapors at mere words possibly being unpleasant.

This is to counter the success of #GamerGate on Twitter.

Gamers were holding their own, so it's necessary to shut them down.

I agree. If feminists believe their own propaganda about equality, Twitter should deal with complaints from either women or men in the same way.

The story sounds like Twitter is taking sides in the feminists against gamers dispute too, which to me seems like an unforced error, as it isn't Twitter's fight..
