I had something of a revelatory experience last week when I was riding the metro home from work and witnessed something that gave me an inkling of what women have to deal with probably all-too-frequently as part of their daily lives.

I would support the shit out of a men's only gym if it would encourage the dudebros to go elsewhere. I am so sick of having to fight with them to be 'allowed' to use machines I have every right to be on in the co-ed gym, and taking up the tiniest possible amount of space while trying to exercise because they each need…

Yup. Too many reasons, including this one: overheard by my boyfriend in the male locker rooms of his gym, some men discussing a young female gym-goer who was wearing fitness leggings (I repeat, fitness leggings).

"Did you see that girl? She was asking to be raped."

#NotAllCocks. Not, as a fr'instance, your sad little only friend.

Really great (old) blog post via Thomas on Yes Means Yes:

But it's the 'principle' of it!

Yes, yes, yes! We KNOW it's not all men, guys. It's not even *most* men. We appreciate that most of you are decent human beings, trying hard to overcome the social conditioning that tells you that you are "entitled" to ... well, whatever you want from us really. But while there's one man out there who thinks that way,…

No joke, I've been posting since at least 2008, and I have gotten rid of accounts and stopped posting altogether several times since this place becomes more and more of a troll convention with each passing year. I lost a starred account in the first kinja switchover, and had to live and die in the gray comments for…

Exactly. Rodgers sounded like every other guy in the manosphere.

I can't put fucking lip balm on without some fucking fuckhead yelling out his truck window, "Ya baby, suck on that nice and deep now". #actuallyfuckinghappened

Women also don't threaten to rape you when you trounce them in a video game. Women don't tend to try to intimidate you physically on the street when you tell them off for shouting SHOW US YOUR TITS!

That might be true if he hadn't belonged to several groups/forums that espoused the exact same hateful rhetoric that he did. Or if this was the first murder that was ever committed because a man expected women to be like gumball machines that you pop a quarter into to receive sex.

Evidence: "There have been 71 mass murders in the US since 1982 and 70 of them where carried out by men. Most of them were white men." Evidence: "Last month a girl in Connecticut turned down a guy for prom, so he decided to stab her repeatedly in the hallways of their high school." Evidence: "A few years ago a man…

Not every woman is capable of learning MMA and kicking the asses of all harassers. Disabled and sick women get harassed too. Lets tell the harassers to respect women's boundaries rather than putting the onus on victims to react a certain way to it.

I'm guessing you aren't afraid of the name calling escalating into violence, rape, and/or murder. Every woman I know is.

Groan (+ EPIC eye roll). "Because being entitled, and a man, does not automatically make you a mass murder." Noooooo shit. That you think this is what Laci or anyone here is saying (that entitled men are all mass murderers) shows how limited YOUR intellectual capacity is. But entitlement and mysoginy can, and have…

I have taken boxing classes. I know how to hurt people.

"How far we've come, intellectually". Gotta love confident fools.

That the police don't deal well with the mentally ill is a truism and a discussion for any other article on the matter. This is about the misogynistic entitlement that contributed.

And THERE it is, folks. Case closed. Nothing more to see or explain here.
