Hello everyone.

Jill Filipovic wants you to follow more women on Twitter and retweet them more often, and if you don’t you’re all just big ole sexist meanie heads.

Hello everyone, follow more women on Twitter, and retweet them more often. https://t.co/OQ52vpD1b5

From Vox:

Anyone that follows Beltway Twitter knows it’s a deeply insular and self-involved world dominated by men who almost exclusively speak to each other. But now there’s research to prove it.

“When male journalists reply to other beltway journalists, they reply to another male journalist 91.5% of the time,” according to a study to be published in the the International Journal of Press/Politics, titled “Twitter Makes It Worse: Political Journalists, Gendered Echo Chambers, and the Amplification of Gender Bias.”

Of the 25 reporters who received the most replies from male political reporters, zero were women.

This female editor has not found this to be true personally but we’re not really ‘reporters’ …

If you want to know why women don't spend as much time on Twitter as men, feel free to read the replies to this totally innocuous tweet.

Guess she didn’t like the responses she was getting which were mainly people suggesting CONSERVATIVE WOMEN they either already followed or wanted others to follow.

This thread is an absolute gift if you're looking for more people to block.

The irony considering the large number of WOMEN on her thread. Didn’t she just say she wanted people to follow more women but now she’s calling for blocks?
