In the words of Agent Smith: "Me, me, me, me, me."

The guy who wrote the article Wu is replying to is a exceptional individual too. And his "internalized misogyny" is showing.
"But then, I’m a well-off straight white dude, and I can laugh off some mouth breather saying stupid things to me. If I were a woman and getting a constant stream of rape and death threats, I’m not sure I could do that, and I’m not sure that I should be required to be an “expert” user not to have to see this stuff."
I, as a strong man, can laugh assholes off, women, on the other hand, probably can't handle that and need to be protected.
"But I think it would be usefulif Twitter also incorporated into its philosophy, far more robustly than it has, that everyone is allowed to decide who is allowed to impinge on their time, and timeline. There are things that Twitter can probably do, pretty easily, to both give their users control of their timelines and to make it clear to assholes that Twitter is not a great place for them to troll and threaten."
Those things already exist. They are called the block button and the report function.
"8. An optional tab where muted/blocked account replies can go. Wait, if you’ve muted/blocked someone, don’t you not want to see them? Indeed, you don’t! Or at the very least you don’t want to see them in the stream of daily conversation. But if you worry that there will be substantive threats to you among those accounts you’ve muted/blocked, then it’d be useful to have a quarantined area where you can see them and report the worst of them to Twitter. And that Twitter actually did something about them, with respect to their presence on the service, and when necessary (and agreed to by the person being threatened) in reporting the threatening accounts to appropriate authorities."
Can't pass up the chance to still follow the people you block.
The entire list of proposals reads like the wishlist of an SJW who has wet dreams about hugboxes every night.
Brianna Wu is, to the suprise of no one, on board.

Edit: Or not that much on board? So hard to tell with Wu. Anyways, Expert Mode engage!
