Kudos to him for making an actual thoughtful apology, rather than a “i’m sorry you were offended” non-apology.

Good on ya, bud. It’s tough to make an apology like that.

And when you break down how those statistics define “verbal abuse”, they only arrived at those numbers by accepting men’s perception of women non-threateningly disagreeing with or disobeying them as verbal or emotional abuse. (Men are stalked by female ex-partners much less often than women by male ex-partners, so…

Also we obviously shouldn’t use any of our diminished female brain capacity to worry about this, because there are women in Africa who suffer through genital mutilation.

Also, didn’t you hear about that woman who killed a man that one time? It totally happens both ways so it can’t be sexist.

No no no, silly woman. Don’t get hysterical. This is all just about mental illness. Not everything is misogyny. These men, while rapists and murderers, certainly weren’t misogynistic. No, to admit they were is a bridge too far and unfairly besmirches them. They never admitted they killed women because of sexism. And…

I realised this is old, but I just came across your post and it struck a chord with me, and I feel like getting this out. While I’d say your story is significantly more painful than mine, I’ve been through similar circumstances of being so high up and then crashing down hard.

That’s simply total bullshit. And I can attest from first hand experience. I’m a hockey writer myself and one who works as editor for women hockey writers. I never get anywhere near the harassment they do. Nor do other male colleagues. Even being an outspoken critic of Kane, I never got a single harassing Tweet.…

because clearly they would never send something like this to anybody

Does Darren Rovell receive rape threats on his account and words like “I hope your wife beats you”?

Does Darren Rovell get multiple rape threats per day? Does he get multiple comments per day from people who hope his spouse beats him to death? Yeah, it is an “against women thing.”

I don’t know why you’re so hostile and butthurt about my comment. My response to you certainly wasn’t hostile. You are the one trying to invalidate my experiences as a woman by telling me that I can’t be right about what I’ve experienced in my own life. My “creds” are not my fucking age or my gender, my “creds” is me…

Your claim that online harassment is not gendered (even if we just narrowed it to this industry) is not supported by actual data. Try again.

Really, there are people threatening to rape Rovell on a daily basis? Link some of those tweets that are worse than what was on this vid. Cause I think you’re full of it.

Rovell gets “vitriol” yes. Rovell gets “vitriol that treats his gender as an automatic disqualifier for basic competence at his job”... I bet not.

Rovell gets “vitriol that includes rape and death threats”... I haven’t exhaustively examined his feed, but I’m willing to bet the answer to that is not only no, but hell no.

Please, show me where the rape threats are in Rovell’s mentions? Show me where someone tweets his home address and threatens to murder his family? These women would KILL to only have to deal with the “vitriol” in Rovell’s mentions. And if you seriously can’t comprehend the difference between “delete your account” and…

Perhaps it`s not the vast majority of men tweeting shit like this, but it is the vast majority of women who are the recipients, for doing nothing more than expressing an opinion or doing their actual jobs.

HA. Fucking PLEASE. You have not listened to anything feminists have told you if you think anyone is asking you to personally intervene in order to stop some asshole on the internet from making a sexist tweet. This is not what we are asking men to do when we ask them to be actively anti-sexist. Here’s a tip: take five…

Travis is a troll with a platform and Rovell but I see no death and rape threats their way constantly for just stating an opinion so...Nope.

there’s already dudes upthread #notallmen-ing
