Faruk and I have known each other for 8 years, we tried to start a business together and I have a lot of respect for him.
Laura is my flatmate and best friend.
They tried to talk on Twitter beforehand, and it wasn't going very well (as Twitter does.)
She wanted to write a post on sexism for a very long while now. This was a catalyst to finally get it done. She also wanted it to be public so people got a full view of the opinions.
I, as a man, feel if I don't agree with posts like Faruk's, a lot of people take it as I don't care about women's rights. It can get messy easily.
Her opinions were not destructive in my opinion. She was frustrated that yet another man was telling all us what sexism was and that she felt his intentions weren't necessarily good, but more "holier than thou" and that it didn't help anything.

I have biases, so take it with a grain of salt.
