Replies to Farrow’s suggestion of “equalist” were mostly “thumbs down,” but in an equal kind of way:
Hmmm no thanks RT @MiaFarrow: The word 'feminist' is getting creaky. Maybe time to retire it in favor of something like 'equalist'

@MiaFarrow no thanks. "feminist" isn't creaky at all. People who don't use are afraid of the term

@MiaFarrow or just human being. We use labels to segregate. We need labels that you can't use to segregate.

Well, back to the drawing board.

The tweet is now gone from Farrow’s Twitter feed. But Twitchy is forever!
