Stefanos Tsitsipas is one of the most active tennis players on the social media but his activity isn't always fruitful as he collected a lot of criticism again.
Previously, the Greek was slammed for tweeting about salary and he is often also accused of stealing quotes without giving proper credits. This time, Stefanos Tsitsipas engage in a topic that discussed feminism as an entrepreneur Iman Gadzhi tweeted:
"Modern feminism teaches women to hate men. Women to hate women that are proud to be women. And makes men ashamed to be men. It’s a real shame to see something that was initially pure turn so cancerous."
One of the users asked for a solution to what the Greek tennis player replied: "In my opinion everyone is and should be equal to everyone. No matter your background, gender, religion, ethnicity or race. Modern feminism has swerved from gender equality into a cult of outrage that seeks to disparage men. How is that fair?"
Soon, British sports reporter Catherine Whitaker noticed his tweeted and responded: "Hey Stefanos, modern feminist here. Just wondered what you’re basing this assessment on? How you’ve educated yourself on the female experience of life/the world? What your understanding of the patriarchy is? Happy to discuss anytime."
Tsitsipas was ready to defend himself and respond to questions from Whitaker, stating: "I have based this on some of own personal experiences and encounters. I have educated myself on that subject by asking female friends and acquaintances. I don’t believe in patriarchy. Equality and unity is the solution to everything."
Touching upon one of the points that the Greek made, Whitaker just shortly responded as she couldn't find more reasons to engage in the debate anymore: "Well it sounds like you’ve got it all figured out so I’ll leave it there. I only wish I had the privilege of not believing in the patriarchy."
