Pretty much every study ever done on harassment online has shown that women receive significantly more threats and abuse and significantly WORSE threats and abuse than men online.

OK, let's break this down:

Wait, YOU want to compare #gamergate trolls with feminists? You think THOSE two groups are somehow analogous? Show me how male gamers are being oppressed or held down by feminism, you know, the way women have been in a patriarchal society since, gee, I don't know, basically the entirety of human history?

We spend a lot of time here on Jezebel talking the fact that the onus of preventing rape should be on men and about how education and outreach programs should focus on that. Now that one is, you're saying we shouldn't have to train someone to act like an adult?

Congrats to Dr. Mirzakhani on this fantastic accomplishment. Moduli space is a fascinating study.

A) My bad, I claim shitty kinja arrangements and laziness on my part.

I'm not really going to address the first point, because that context was never indicated at any point in this thread or the article it's referencing.

I can't get behind this. It's like she's trying to sound like Billie Holiday crossed with a 6 year old.

Singers, new and old: You are not Billie Holiday. You will never be Billie Holiday. Unless your speaking voice is both sweet and gravely, you shouldn't sing like Billie Holiday. If that's the only way you can make your voice sound interesting, you may need to pick a different profession or instrument because it sounds

"The misogyny is just a symptom of the greater problem of violent mental illness."

when people are telling you to fuck off, they aren't telling men to fuck. I've never felt excluded from feminist discussion or the broader feminist movement. Sure, I've had ideas challenged (with varying levels of civility), sometimes when I'm wrong and sometimes when I'm right. I've never felt like I was being

Wow. Did you have any idea your comment would result in...this? What a depressing stew of mean-spiritedness. One striking irony is the people who accuse of Erin of being mean writing far meaner things about her than Erin has ever written about anyone. (And, by the way, I loved Erin's piece on her childhood bully. That

The only thing more fun than a "Sleepunder" is an"Unmovie Night" where its actually daytime and instead of watching movies everybody has to help clean the garage.

The denim subculture is specific about a few things and $300 jeans tap into these things.

I know, right? I was all set for a "hey, look at the intersection of gender performance and sex" and suddenly it's all "you've been lied to! monogamy is a sham!"

Precisely. Nobody's curious about the cyclical nature of violence and abuse, how abuse teaches violence as an appropriate response, which it almost never is. All they're seeing is a clear-cut goodguy-triumphing-over-the-big-bad story, which is what superhero comics are for.

The cultural implications go far, far beyond

You'd probably get similar results regardless of the rubric you use to define half naked.

Dustin Browder took to Heroes of the Storm's official blog to offer his regrets for his response in this interview with Rock, Paper, Shotgun. "I responded poorly to a statement the interviewer made about over-sexualized character designs in games, and I want to apologize for that," Browder wrote.
