"Save us the bulls**t, show some respect" - Tennis further annoyed by Stefanos Tsitsipas' attempt to backtrack on feminism comments

Stefanos Tsitsipas has come up with some clarifying comments on his views about feminism, a day after putting out a couple of controversial tweets on the subject. But despite his backtracking attempt, the 24-year-old has still been receiving strong backlash from tennis fans on social media.On Thursday, Tsitsipas tweeted that modern feminism has diverged from aiming for gender equality and turned into a cult that seeks to downgrade men in society. That led to many fans questioning the Greek player's sense of ethics and equality.In an apparent attempt to shield himself from the onslaught, Tsitsipas posted a slightly tweaked opinion on the issue on Friday.&quot;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,&quot; he stated.Stefanos Tsitsipas@steftsitsipasFeminism empowers people, which is one of the key reasons young people should get involved.

One fan said:&quot;To quote my undergrad supervisor: “Plagarism might be a quicker fix than learning, but I’ll never trust a word you say.&quot; This is neither how you apologise nor understand.

Even in Australia, my resume being labelled as “male” because of the engineering background, is a problem in 2022 and that’s what patriarchy is. Even if you want to look the other way.16@steftsitsipas You don’t understand what feminism actually aims to achieve, what it’s all about.
