Pasadena’s Porn Professor is back in the news
This guy just won’t go away.
We recently reported on his suicide attempt and hoped he would get the help he needs but he refuses to stay out of the news cycle.
Richard Abowitz of The Daily Beast reports on Professor Schwyzer’s latest meltdown.
Porn Professor Hugo Schwyzer Comes Clean About His Twitter Meltdown and Life as a Fraud
Hugo Schwyzer might be the Internet’s most famous “male feminist” right now (not that it’s a crowded field). The Pasadena City College professor made a name for himself teaching classes on porn and writing about how men can be better feminists by doing things like dating women their own age.
But none of that is why Schwyzer is so famous right this second. What’s driving his current notoriety is his very public Twitter meltdown last Friday in which he sent out more than 100 tweets in an hour, admitting to building a career “on fraudulent pretenses,” to being an addict, and to teaching feminism with no specialization or degree in the field. This came on the heels of the revelation last month that the 46-year-old married professor wasn’t taking his own advice when he sexted with a 27-year-old sex worker activist.
Here are a few choice tweets from Schwyzer.
