Twitter feminist Laurie Penny apparently thought it was a good idea to hijack the twitter hashtag #brussels (combining it with #misogyny) to promote her feminist agenda by tweeting several tweets about how she was personally victimized by people sending her misogynistic messages on twitter.

She did this only minutes after the deadly attacks in my hometown, leading to some drama, so here are some of the tweets & drama in the comments on them.
