"That's as good as calling him out by name."

As far as I know the guys name was not widely, if at all, published.



Yes, his name has been carefully kept out of public discussions. This is the patriarchy protecting his reputation while repeating the complainant's name as often and as widely as possible to make sure that anyone who dislikes what she did has a target for criticism and/or abuse while the people who dislike what he did don't.


He didn't ask for his name to be published and she outed him under her real name on her employer's Twitter account. 'The patriarchy' is not conspiring against her to keep her name public, it's just maintaining the status quo.


Hahaha the patriarchy! How much of your day do you spend feeling oppressed?


when did this site become a radfem hub?
