@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal Do you know his agent joins him in harassing women? They & their followers then claim that the target being a woman is irrelevant because his agent is a woman. You should learn about internalized misogyny before trying to cover that part.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal They both use the familiar tactic, familiar to victims at least, of harassing someone & then claiming they're really the victim when someone calls them on their harassment.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal Bauer quote tweets women so his large number of followers will see it & then some will also harass the person. Here his agent tries to claim she's the victim of that. Luba has >60K followers. The person she targeted here has <9500.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal Here's one where he uses the exact words women have said to him to try to pretend he's the victim.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal Here is suggests someone should kill themselves. Fifteen minutes later after someone repeats what he to him he plays the victim.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal There's evidence out there he isn't well-liked by all his previous teammates.

@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal The next time you decide to write a PR piece to boost a player's free agency & then discover afterwards that he's engaged in harassment you should actually investigate. Don't just slap a few dismissive paragraphs on it.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal I should add that your comment section under the article is nothing compared to what women's mentions are like after Bauer has put a target on them.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal Directly in reply to the reporter. Notice how one dismisses this because it's not as bad as assault.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal Here's another harasser. Another one that justifies it because it wasn't physical abuse.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal Your coverage of Porter should have reflected how the Mets asked 0 women about him before hiring him & how they revealed identifying info of the victim to reporters. You should explain how Bauer directed his followers to harass someone.
@TheAthletic @Ken_Rosenthal You should explain to men that women do not talk about harassment they've received to "feel special" and how it is a gender thing most often with Bauer.
