I don't remember if it was Geoffrey Litt, or someone else, but I used to follow a few people in that noosphere on Twitter. One of them promoted a short film which was captioned (paraphrasing), "this man made this film all by himself," even though there was clearly a live female actor in it. There was that, and then sexist remarks, possibly by one or two different accounts, at unrelated times. Anyway, whoever they were, good riddance.
