Twitter has a harassment problem, and every woman on this site has seen it. A man can continuously antagonize survivors and shrug off mass reporting, but the moment a woman shows anger at him, or at the system enabling him, she is punished. We’ve seen it time and again.

Enrique has been consistently attacking survivors for months unchecked by a cold, automatic system that, because he doesn’t curse, sees nothing wrong. Meanwhile, women are punished for expressing anger. As we speak, Dara is in time out over calling it out, and he’s back on.

There’s no fixing men like Enrique. He’s fundamentally broken. But we can demand a better system. Reports for harassment need an opportunity for detail, and need a better review process. Terms of Service need to be updated to protect vulnerable parties.

Twitter reports consistent financial growth year after year. It’s an ever growing platform, but perhaps just for a quarter, just once, it can focus more on better protections for us and less on making the threads look more Cool And Weird.
