It is certainly a doozy. A brief sample of hits from Hugo’s Great Manic Confession follows. TL;DR: We were right. The leading male feminist was a complete fraud.
I am handing over my password to a trusted friend shortly.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 15hWell, that was a manic episode.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 18hI’m sorry that I kept mocking socially awkward men as creeps as a way of making myself look better.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 18hPlease. After the sexting and the fraudulence and the sheer ugly debasedness of it all I’m finished.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 18hPeople are tweeting me saying I’m hurting myself more by doing this. How? You think I had a chance at a comeback?
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 18hI did promote others but I secretly wanted to be THE male feminist
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 18hTo everyone at the Good Men Project I am so sorry
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hOr find a better way of doing it because I did deserve it. I was a shitty writer and I was a fraud and I did try to kill my ex
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hSo you should know that you were RIGHT! This man is not well.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hThe point is simple and clear and sane. I have been a self-aggrandizing fraud from day one. @studentactivism will tell you
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hSo yes, I sexted with a hooker. Yes, I wanted to have my students watch me screw James Deen.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hI loved being the most notorious bad boy male feminist out there
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hBut I was just craving attention.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hI’m a monstrous hypocrite.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19h…that I was sleeping with a 23 year-old. And sexting a 27 year-old. Not my students at least.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hI cheated on my wife and pretended to be reformed. I wrote an article in the Atlantic condemning age-disparate relationships the same week
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hMy friends who defended me I’m so sorry. You did all that work for nothing. The critics were right, they could see it.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hI am so so sorry that I let myself be like this. But I wanted atttention so f-ing bad. This was all about attention.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hAnd yes, I networked like a motherfucker to get promoted.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hI’ll be fine, and I’ll dump in some tranquilizers in a sec. But let the truth come out. The critics were right.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hI loved the attention more and I was fucking awesome at getting it.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hI read one book of Kimmel’s and made myself an expert on men and masculinity.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hBut there was no there there.
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hI then built a career as a well-known online male feminist on fraudulent pretenses. My mania let me talk a good game
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19hSo the real story you all missed is that I talked my way into teaching women’s studies on the basis of 2 undergrad courses only
Hugo Schwyzer @hugoschwyzer 19h
I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to seeing how McRapey is going to top this bold move by Hugo Danger. Let’s face it, a mere ballgown isn’t going to do it.
