Joss Whedon Flees Feminists

Joss Whedon denied he’s quitting Twitter because the feminist rage on all things cunty Avengers. He cited his own feminist bona fides in declaring that the million woman angry army on social media is not what drove him away. In fact, he only wishes he could do more for the cause:

For someone like me even to argue about feminism — it’s not a huge win. Because ultimately I’m just a rich, straight, white guy. 

Of all the bad luck. Rich straight white male. Four strikes against you before your first pitch. What hell hath heaven wrought on the forsaken. Whedon claims he simply needs to focus on his work, on his writing, in a room, far away, where vitriolic slogans written in menstrual juice aren’t thrown at his head because he wasn’t born an indigent lesbian of color. He apologized a few more times to the feminist trolls on Twitter whose lesbian lovers have positions of power in Hollywood and he left. Just like that. A cowardly self-loathing guy who happens to make pretty good Avengers movies. I’d call it a wash for dudes.
