Prominent feminist Jessica Valenti claims that men who don’t ‘follow’ enough women on Twitter are engaging in a form of “passive sexism.”
The guy next to me on the subway was checking Twitter; he followed almost all the same people I did but NO WOMEN. Passive sexism is for real

The Guardian columnist tweeted her disgust after she admitted to spying on a male commuter, commenting, “The guy next to me on the subway was checking Twitter; he followed almost all the same people I did but NO WOMEN. Passive sexism is for real.”
No, this is not a satire account intended to satirize how batshit crazy western third wave feminists have become, these are actual tweets sent out by an influential feminist who boasts almost 100,000 followers.
It's like when you meet someone whose favorite authors, musicians, artists, etc are all RANDOMLY male. Suspect.

Valenti also asserts that if your favorite authors, musicians and artists are men then your tastes are “suspect,” implying that identifying with writers and performers of the same gender as you is another form of misogyny.
Valenti’s ridiculous assertion that not following enough women on Twitter or liking music and books written by men is a stealthy form of patriarchal oppression is yet another example of why third wave feminism is a complete joke and serves to discredit concern for genuine women’s rights issues.
Valenti’s creepy obsession with casually violating people’s privacy and shaming them on Twitter for the thought crime of not following who she thinks they should also illustrates how radical feminists have positioned themselves as authoritarian intellectual gatekeepers who are intent on controlling free expression.
The reaction to her rampaging idiocy was swift, leading Valenti to claim that people were “mad” at her and that she would use the backlash as material for her next column.
Whenever Twitter gets mad at me I know I have my next column idea

Other Twitter users quickly set her straight, pointing out that no one was “mad” at her, they were just laughing at her.
@JessicaValenti don't think anyone is mad, you're just getting clowned….hard

.@JessicaValenti I got your title right here: "Violating People's Privacy Is Awesome Because Patriarchy."

@JessicaValenti You're going to write a whole column about how you read other people's devices over their shoulders? Awesome. When?
— Lurker (@red_boxer0) May 12, 2015
@neontaster @JessicaValenti Not only does she tweet her idiocy, she wallows in it by writing a column.
— Republicanvet (@Republicanvet91) May 12, 2015
@JessicaValenti Yes because baiting people for negative responses is really helpful to womens issues.

@JessicaValenti so if you don't immediately see female tweets whilst EAVESDROPPING that proves sexism? How fucked are you?
— Lil Divil (@DivilsAdvocate) May 12, 2015
@JessicaValenti You are a stalker. Imagine if some guy did that to you. You'd be complaining abt how he didn't respect your space. Stop it.
— laurakfillault (@laurakfillault) May 12, 2015
@NellSco @JessicaValenti Ohhh so now following isn't enough, you have to retweet them in order to avoid being a bigot?
— Lil Divil (@DivilsAdvocate) May 12, 2015
.@JessicaValenti You are a very weird person. You need a hobby.
— Matt (@Matthops82) May 12, 2015
@RBPundit If he did follow the women, he'd be a passive rapist. There is no winning with militant feminists. @JessicaValenti

.@JessicaValenti you might possibly be the dumbest son of a bitch I've ever witnessed on Twitter for this tweet

@JessicaValenti @Tark31 Alternate universe: "The creepy guy next to me was staring at my twitter like he had a right. Passive sexism=real."

@JessicaValenti Do you actually plan to totally shit the bed on twitter when you wake up each day or does it just kinda, y'know, happen?
