he names names — sady doyle, jessica coen, jill filipovic over at feministe, amanda marcotte (where he was super supportive of her not only ripping off WOC bloggers like BFP), etc. there are a couple highlights tumblrs that aren't hard to find.

yes. here I found one for you. https://twitter.com/hugoschwyzer/s…
try reading his actual tweets where he explicitly talks about harassing WoC and intentionally getting white feminist supports on his side to drive them away.
how I wish I could be surprised.
I'm impressed that you can so calmly accept feeding into Hugo, propping him up, and thus contributing to his ability to harm WOC bloggers and undermine them consistently. That's real great that you can just let it all go and accept that you did your best despite all the voices telling you the truth, that Hugo helped…
Do animals have complex social structures in place that devalue features of certain races and ethnic groups, and fetishize others?
ooh my god, I've read that article before and it chills me to the bone. The mother who had a dentist pull out her daughter's teeth - ALL OF HER TEETH - is just horrifying in so many ways.
Aren't there similar problems in many Amish communities, and ultra-orthadox Jewish communities?
well at least it'd be something different.
oh shit I'm a terrible millennial.
MONEY. Same way he's gonna get to space.
Yeah but I noticed it was way down at the bottom there. So how do we fix socialization? There are plenty of ways — media influence, school curriculum, updated pedagogy, information for parents, mentoring programs, targeted recruitment by tech and science industries (that's worked really well for NASA tbqh), summer…
Probs should have a shout-out to Audre Lorde's The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House somewhere here, or am I just old.
You're not really convincing me that she has an obligation, personally and outside her work, to answer people's questions? She could choose to do so. and you think she'd be doing good work if she did. That's cool, but it still doesn't mean she's responsible for educating every person that asks her questions. How many…
I agree with this was trying to figure out how to phrase it. Racism and homophobia can also be sitting in your own home, invisible to at least the perpetrators. I found the comparison between sexism and other -isms unnecessary and jarring (and normally do, to be honest)
When a read a blog to educate myself, that's a different act that rolling up into Lindy's twitter and demanding she give me evidence of sexism. I think there's tons of ways the feminist blogosphere can act and work to fight oppression and spur action that doesn't include educating, and there are plenty of educational…
Do you read interviews with politicians and celebrities?
wow that blog post certainly is a great rebuttal to actual studies about socialization and active discouragement in going into hard sciences (there are tons! http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&… )
does the commonality of horrible shit happening on twitter mean it's less horrible to have people hurl death threats at you?
dude that is just seriously not true. Roseanne was kind of a giant force for women in television, and her show was something that we don't really have now, especially not with a woman show-runner. At least back in the day.
