What I find interesting is that this author was listed among the top ten "feminist" writers.

... and that now feminists on twitter are advocating "her" removal. ... which is odd because technically a feminist doesn't need to be a woman.

It really just exposes their hypocrisy, and that's why they hate these three guys.

I would agree - only that I don’t find many people on Twitter criticizing the trio. The article mentions one tweet (30 retweets, under 300 favs as of now - even after being mentioned in the guardian). Searching to the name doesn’t reveal much - some newspapers and mainly people laughing about the affair.

That’s one thing I don’t like about Twitter: I think single Tweets get blown out of portion quick, mainly because the media report on them as if „Twitter“ wanted something instead of single people.
