Conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos received big-name support on Wednesday for reversing his lifetime Twitter ban: Minecraft creator Markus Persson.
Twitter froze Mr. Yiannopoulos' account on Tuesday after barbed exchanges with "Ghostbusters" star Leslie Jones. The Breitbart News tech editor seemingly was banned for the racist comments made by other users. Mr. Persson told his nearly 4 million followers that Twitter's actions were absurd.
"I think the guy's a bit of a [expletive], but for the love of Christ, #FreeMilo," the video game icon said Wednesday morning. "If/when I get suspended too, check http://notch.net. I've reported tweets worse than anything (well.. almost) Nero's ever said, and the reply is always the same: Nope."

I'd say that if in fact his explanation actually is condescending or patronizing, then he is, in fat, a misogynist. However, if he isn't being condescending or patronizing, then she's a misandrist.
Is there a word for a woman explaining something to a man in a condescending or patronizing way? I've never seen or heard the word "masplaining" before (neither has my spell checker or Webster's) and had to google it.
But misogynists do exist, as do misandrists. I've met examples of both. Neither are pleasant to be around.
