Gizmodo’s Matt Novak has a big beef with this piece at The Federalist:
Dear feminists, stop pretending that birth control is necessary for one's health. https://t.co/F2opYpMtiL
— The Federalist (@FDRLST) November 3, 2017
Because The Federalist is a real bastion of male chauvinism, you guys:
Does the Federalist have a single woman writer? Have any of the men there ever had a conversation with a woman? https://t.co/Z0BC5zkK9B
— Matt Novak (@paleofuture) November 3, 2017
Excellent question, Matt. Truly.

Wow. What’s the deal with that ratio, huh?
Oh:
We’re a majority female staff, Mr. Man. I’m senior editor. https://t.co/NobePxyPsw

Most of their writers are women.

Reading beyond headlines is as hard as using Google?

Do @Gizmodo folks know how to click a link and read a byline?
— David Mastio (@DavidMastio) November 3, 2017
That’s too much work.
Identity politics has degraded to the point where the crazies don't even look at who they're demanding racial or sexual conformity from https://t.co/TuJPG7642s

Not a Federalist fan, but they do have women writers.
In fact, the article in the tweet you're quoting? Written by a woman. https://t.co/L4q4bGDU5b

The author of the article in question ??? pic.twitter.com/bdox8KSj4p

The article literally says, "As a woman who has taken contraception for health-related reasons …." Come on.

Some men don't like that @FDRLST gives voice to the large sector of women they would prefer to pretend don't exist. https://t.co/x2bnehBLpj

Gosh, Matt. That’s embarrassing, isn’t it?
https://twitter.com/RobProvince/status/926467817158926342
That is a serious self-own right there.

This is one of the best self-owns I've seen in a while, but Gizmodo has a low, low bar. https://t.co/HVYtlampZh

It’s true.
I missed it–have you yet acknowledged having issued what may literally be the dumbest Tweet in the history of this site? https://t.co/sLS3IByKKQ
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) November 3, 2017
Not as of this post’s publication, no. But he did tweet this:
As editor in chief of @FDRLST I'd just like to say that the pee tape is real and our enormous wet president screened it for me personally
— Matt Novak (@paleofuture) November 3, 2017
Mkaaaaay.
Some people might go sit in a corner after dunking on themselves this badly. But not this hero https://t.co/7gIYyhkyRQ

Next time, Matt, just crawl into a cave. That would be much more dignified.
