Stefanos Tsitsipas has let down his fans with attempt to U-turn on feminist Twitter spat

An entertaining piece about a tennis player by a very silly airhead “journalist”, Yasmin Syed, for the Express. I may post it on Laughing at Feminists. An extract:

The nine-time title winner was – understandably – slammed for his claims with hundreds of quote-retweets pouring in from followers who were disappointed at the message he was sending to his almost 374,000 followers, accused him of succumbing to ‘incel’ culture and questioned what research and understanding he had based his claims on. But he continued to show his lack of awareness on the true issues at hand as he later claimed he didn’t believe the patriarchy existed.

What outrageous belief will he anounce next? The Easter bunny and the tooth fairy don’t exist?

Tsitsipas’s later and inevitable U-turn was embarrassing in the extreme:

“Feminism empowers people, which is one of the key reasons young people should get involved. It’s a prevalent misperception that feminism is exclusively beneficial to women, and that only women may be feminists. Feminism actually seeks gender equality, not superiority for women,” he wrote in the first of a series of three tweets, but his followers quickly found that his words had actually been taken from the We Are Restless blog, while his earlier anti-feminist message was taken from a 2017 article on The Telescope, a college newspaper website.
