   Joss Whedon quits Twitter, says it's not due to 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'   
   backlash   
      
   Director Joss Whedon has deleted his Twitter account, but says it was not   
   because of attacks by feminists over his recent movie Avengers: Age of   
   Ultron.   
      
   "Believe me, I have been attacked by militant feminists since I got on   
   Twitter," Whedon told Buzzfeed. "That's something I'm used to. Every breed   
   of feminism is attacking every other breed, and every subsection of   
   liberalism is always busy attacking another subsection of liberalism,   
   because, God forbid they should all band together and actually fight for the   
   cause."   
      
   The filmmaker said he decided to reclaim his personal life and creative   
   spark , which meant bidding adieu to Twitter: "I just thought, Wait a   
   minute, if I'm going to start writing again, I have to go to the quiet   
   place."   
      
   Since Avengers: Age of Ultron opened, Whedon – known for his creation of   
   strong female characters like Buffy The Vampire Slayer – was rapped for   
   softening Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, into a damsel in   
   distress. Black Widow has been featured in four Marvel movies since Iron Man   
   2 in 2010.
