Ask and ye shall receive! Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher wasn’t amused by conservatives’ reaction to the creepy #WHYouth hashtag put out by the White House this week in advance of the White House Youth Summit. Townhall’s Katie Pavlich took notice as well, writing, “I know we’re not supposed to make references to Hitler, but the latest move by the White House makes it really hard not to.”
Christopher responded, writing, “This is the fundamental conservative misunderstanding about everything from racism to misogyny to any other concern that they can dismiss as “political correctness”: you’re not supposed to do, or not do, anything, but what you choose to do, or not do, says something about you.” We don’t quite understand that sentence either, but Pavlich made it clear she as a conservative woman knows what misogyny is.
LOL progressive male @tommyxtopher doesn't think conservatives like me understand misogyny http://t.co/U6CXSbvOVd

Yeah, exactly "the fundamental conservative misunderstanding about everything from racism to misogyny" @tommyxtopher
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) December 7, 2013
@KatiePavlich Your specific misunderstanding was of the trivialization of Nazism.
— Tommy X-TrumpIsARacist-opher (@tommyxtopher) December 7, 2013
More like, the White House’s fundamental misunderstanding was the historical connotations that would be inextricably linked to a hashtag like #WHYouth.
Nah, I understood #WHYouth pretty well considering I'm a young person, I also understand misogyny considering I'm a woman @tommyxtopher

@KatiePavlich Neither of which are what I criticized you for. You also understand evasion, I see.
— Tommy X-TrumpIsARacist-opher (@tommyxtopher) December 7, 2013
He only criticized all conservatives, not Pavlich.
@KatiePavlich You think making trivial comparisons to the Holocausrt is just something you're "not supposed to do," not that it's just wrong
— Tommy X-TrumpIsARacist-opher (@tommyxtopher) December 7, 2013
@KatiePavlich But you know that because you read the piece, and you're trying to misdirect a feud somewhere else. Pass.
— Tommy X-TrumpIsARacist-opher (@tommyxtopher) December 7, 2013
Why are you defending the White House and #WHYouth? #creepy @tommyxtopher
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) December 7, 2013
Misdirect a feud? Let me quote u again"the fundamental conservative misunderstanding about everything from racism to misogyny" @tommyxtopher
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) December 7, 2013
@KatiePavlich I thought this was pretty clear. But I can see how you'd be creeped out by the loyalty oath. http://t.co/LYzA26R3GP #oops
— Tommy X-TrumpIsARacist-opher (@tommyxtopher) December 7, 2013
What was that about misdirection?
@KatiePavlich Yes. There was a specific criticism directed at you, which was not that, but which you are conflating with a general critique
— Tommy X-TrumpIsARacist-opher (@tommyxtopher) December 7, 2013
@KatiePavlich But you knew that because you're doing it. Pass.
— Tommy X-TrumpIsARacist-opher (@tommyxtopher) December 7, 2013
That’s the second pass, right?
@KatiePavlich If you do write something about misogyny that you think I'd like/not like, though, definitely send it my way.

@KatiePavlich I'm quite sure you know my views on sexism are not colored by party.
