Twitchy favorite @redsteeze has a powerful new bio — Humanist Feminist Waterist #NN14 — and a shiny new Unite Blue logo on his avatar. Either he’s seen the light thanks to the illuminating panels of this year’s Netroots Nation conference in Detroit, or he’s trolling like no one has trolled before.
For example, behold the confounding conflation of the glass ceiling and “rape culture.”

Exactly. Or does it?

@redsteeze @RBraceySherman @ljoywilliams It's pretty easy to interpret your tweet another way. I'm sure you can see why.

@redsteeze @RBraceySherman @ljoywilliams You seriously don't see how your tweet – in another context – sounds supportive of rape culture?

@redsteeze @RBraceySherman @ljoywilliams Oh lord, I can't help you. I'm speaking specifically about the language used in your tweet.

And that is how it’s done.
@redsteeze @fancyladyleague @RBraceySherman @ljoywilliams This is great

@redsteeze This may be the best thing I read all day. I'm reading it aloud to others at the surf shop and they are dying.

P.S. As a Waterist, @redsteeze reminds those in H20-strapped Detroit to be mindful of their environment.
