The man on the left is a comedian. He has 11 million followers. His fanboys and girls have spent all day whining that I “bullied” him. He is whining that I’m “giving feminism a bad name” - men lead feminism now! Someone tell Jon Stewart his friend is a man baby https://twitter.com/monaeltahawy/status/1300849038804291584

And exactly how did I “bully” this comedian? By pointing out double standards in #Egypt. And he - with 11 million followers - is so thin skinned (how?! he’s a satirist!) he sent me the following. I swear I had no idea he had 11 million followers. I am laughing https://twitter.com/monaeltahawy/status/1300936368609210369

Seriously: if you had 11 million followers, and you were one of the most famous #Egyptian men, would you get upset over this and whine MONA IS BEING MEAN TO ME! THE FEMINISTS ARE SO MEAN?! Bassem Youssef has a fucking FRAGILE EGO. Save us from the male fragile ego! https://twitter.com/monaeltahawy/status/1300849038804291584

Anyways: as Mr. Fragile Male Ego here and his fanboys and girls were having a meltdown, I had my hair coloured lilac. See earlier pics So! Thank you, Alex!

Why are comedians so often the most thin skinned people?

They spend all their time mocking others and they’re so fucking thin skinned. It’s incredible and pathetic.

Meanwhile: feminism is not about being “nice.” So anyone who wants “nice” feminism should fuck right off.

So cancel me, unfollow me, block me.

Just enough with the pathetic “Bassem is an ally! Don’t be mean to him! Don’t bully him! Leave Bassem alone!”

11 million followers. I didn’t even attack him. But when you don’t praise a man he takes it as an attack. 11 million!

If I had 11 million followers, I wouldn’t be on Twitter

And I certainly wouldn’t be whining to my followers that a feminist was bullying me. “Being a feminist doesn’t mean being mean or angry!” Oh no!

It has been very instructive watching how and his fans have been acting all day.

Lots of material for my writing!

And finally:

IT IS NOT THE JOB OF FEMINISM OR FEMINISTS TO BE “NiCE.”

Fuck off with your nice.
