Welp, @ElleCanada is certainly getting a richly deserved ratio this morning. If you're not caught up on this story, here's a quick recap. If you haven't heard this one yet, it'll make your blood boil 🧵

It started yesterday when trans activist Fae Johnstone tweeted out his thanks to Elle Canada for including him in their story on "women breaking the glass ceiling", which raised some eyebrows because Fae is well known to be male, wtf is he doing in a story on the glass ceiling?

Ppl were naturally quick to jump on the Elle article, pointing out how awkward it was to centre two men in an article about "breaking the glass ceiling", a metaphor used to describe the difficulties ACTUAL women tend to face climbing the corporate ladder

And then ppl started posting some tweets of "Fae's",where he proudly displays his hatred of women, specifically the ones below where he makes some unbelievably misogynistic comments that really show how deep his hatred of women runs, specifically:

Like this one, where he makes clear that he is fighting to create a political environment where women who don't bend the knee to his ideological beliefs that men can become women be hounded and bullied out of the public sphere, too intimidated to "speak their views publicly"

Or this one, where he angrily demands that WAGE (a government organization) "shuts down!", any women who refuses to "unequivocally affirm that trans women are women".

IoW, if women refuse to believe that men can become women, they shouldn't be allowed to speak in public.

And so Elle is getting dragged so much today because not only did they centre two men in an article about female excellence,they centered a man whose primary political activism is geared towards silencing and shutting down any woman who dares to advocate for her sex-based rights

It's bad enough @ellecanada centres men on a story about female excellence, but to centre men who actively hate women and whose main political goal is to silence them & keep them in their place - UNDER THE GUISE OF FEMINISM, no less - is just absolute peak gender insanity.

If you'd like to stop a line and let them know how you feel about this, here's a link

Another angle on that delicious ratio, the OP has 46 likes while Sall's response to it is over 4500.

Yikes 😬

Great point. Of course attitudes play a role in the glass ceiling, but there are tangible,real world things (mostly based around child bearing/rearing) that provide a mechanism for a large part of the GC, and these will never be a factor for men
