On the #clementineford tweet drama - Twitter is a selective outrage machine. It serves us content that manipulates our brains to keep us on here.

When someone we hate says something ‘offensive’ we condemn it, when someone we like says the same thing we defend it.

If you don’t like @clementine_ford you’ll find much to disagree with on her Twitter. But the idea that she truly hates men is absurd.

I performed at an event she runs called Conversations with Men earlier this year.

It was an incredibly power discussion of male identity.

She genuinely tries to grapple with how ideas of male identity impact men.

If you don’t like her, fine. But if you can’t admit it’s quite likely she was being hyperbolic and does not in fact want men to die, then your hate is blinding you to reality.

At @clementine_ford’s ‘Conversations With Men’ I found a wonderfully supportive environment that allowed me to discuss some very dark experience I never thought I’d discuss publicly.

It speaks to how much Clem cares for men (TW sexual assault): https://youtu.be/rjBe23k6lGc ">https://youtu.be/rjBe23k6l...
