Lyndsay Kirkham

Lyndsay Kirkham, narcissistic social justice warrior, radical feminist and self-described "social media maverick"

Lyndsay Kirkham is a Canadian narcissistic social justice warrior, Internet lolcow, radical feminist and self-described "writer, social media maverick and educator" from Toronto, who rose to e-fame in 2016 after she faked a disparaging Reddit thread about herself in order to complain loudly on the Internets about being a victim of male sexism. She claims to be "an active member of the Toronto feminist community" and one of "Toronto's top mom bloggers." Despite that, she has been fired from several paid jobs in feminist-related organizations in the Toronto area for being batshit insane, and is apparently known as an eccentric in her local community.

Prior to the 2016 events, she had been known among Twitter users as a Twitter lolcow who constantly bitched about how she raised her son according to her idiosyncratic beliefs about "feminist parenting," and statements like "people who ask for proof about the rape culture aren't human." She also runs several blogs.

She claims to be a "professor," but is actually a part-time, non tenure-track adjunct instructor at a community college, and she doesn't hold a PhD or even a decent MA, and has no academic publications. Quite unsurprisingly, given her somewhat creative CV, she teaches "creative writing."

Narcissism

Her narcissism is apparent from her ubiquitous, Katherine Marionesque praise of herself:

	“	The incredible Lyndsay Kirkham has used her talents in a number of ways [...] Being a vegan long before I became pregnant, and generally being a compassionate person definitely impacted my decision to approach parenting from a natural perspective.	„

	“	Should I mention that I know how to code, write latex and made my first computer program at age 12?	„

He Said / She Said

In the wake of her newfound fame, the following background information about her emerged:

	“	WARNING AGAINST LYNDSAY KIRKHAM OF TORONTO — AN EMPLOYER’S NIGHTMARE Lyndsay Kirkham is a resident of Toronto who has been fired from her jobs for cause repeatedly. As someone who remotely knows her and some of her former employers, I am taking this step to warn potential employers against this person. As she was fired from her most recent job at a feminist publishing company in 2014, she embarked on a vendetta against her own employer, sending out hundreds of e-mails to its customers and contacts containing grossly inappropriate language and allegations against her employer. She also deleted countless files from her employer’s computers, severely sabotaging her own employer and deliberately causing them significant loss. Her employer had terminated their contract with her for cause. She had demonstrated herself to be grossly incompetent and incapable of carrying out even rudimentary tasks, while at the time behaving in an obnoxious manner, not only against colleagues, but also against the company’s customers and contacts. As it happens, she has had her employment ended for similar reasons many times. I must therefore warn against this person.	„
