Margaret Atwood has taken to Twitter to defend herself after writing a controversial op-ed in which she wondered if she was a “bad feminist” for questioning the tactics of the #MeToo movement.
In a piece published Saturday in The Globe and Mail, Atwood called #MeToo “a symptom of a broken legal system”.
The op-ed drew sharp criticism from some observers, who were angered by what they saw as a betrayal of feminist values by an author who has long been interested in examining and questioning power structures that subjugate women.
She wrote in the piece that women are increasingly using online channels to make accusations of sexual misconduct because the legal system is often ineffective. (more...)
Some poor dude tries to interject, and immediately regrets it:
What a spasm of self-pity, here and in the piece. https://t.co/uBBGEo6kGF— Jesse Brown (@JesseBrown) January 14, 2018
Excuse me? How dare you. Self reflection is now self pity? You're nothing. A figment of nothing.— Darlene W Koister (@darlenewk) January 14, 2018
