Your outrage confuses me. A woman's life was threatened, which caused her to cancel the event she was planning to speak at, for fear of her life. She was threatened simply for being a woman. This is deplorable and should be condemned. What difference does it make how much worse it is in the middle east? This…

Whenever someone tells me they like Ayn Rand, my first reaction is "oh, so youre a sociopath then?"

Seriously, fuck Ayn Rand.

Is this an acceptable time to laugh at the libertarian assholes who whine about "forced integration" from employment non-discrimination laws?

I've seen this written elsewhere, but it rings so true: If you read this, and your first thought it, "Hey, she might just be saying this for attention!", then you're doing it wrong.

i don't think he is trying to say the are exclusive but that it is a predominant theme in the media

When I read her tweet, I don't hear it in that tone. I didn't interpret it at all the way you did. Like most of her stuff, it comes off as a flat statement of fact, yet people who hate her see it as something far more nefarious.

Listen, it sounds like you're trying to be open minded about this, but don't say these things out loud. It is so completely insane to suggest that she is doing this herself that it boggles the mind. Think about what she gains (her videos are already widely talked about and discussed, and the harassment that she gets…

Extremism is perpetrated against women every day all over the world. When did the middle east get an exclusivity deal on that?

I'll just wait here for the #notallgamers crowd.

I'm a gamer. I have been for thirty years now.

I'm also a heterosexual, cisgendered white male—and while I sometimes have questions or concerns about Sarkeesians methods and research practices, her message isn't off the mark at all. She's onto something, and I think…

That is some amazing blame tai chi you're practicing. Making her sound like the bad person in the midst of the torrent of death and sexual assault threats.

How could she be anything but glib? How can you live your life under that pressure without developing a callous?

"The game director from Black Ops 2 at its height got 1,000's of death threats a day. No one cared then."

Yeah, no one cares or talks about it. Other than Kotaku who ran a massive story on the death threats received by the Call of Duty director:

Innit funny when the folks who say, "Publication X has an agenda to push," ignore the moments when Publication X has reported on the very things they supposedly ignored—thus, I would argue, revealing the agenda of the folks complaining about agendas?

It's funny how this situation mirrors the extremism perpetrated against women every day in the middle east. We view ourselves as so much more civilized and accomplished, but then people do things like this... hatred and bigotry, it seems, can't be contained by national borders.

How is that smug? Do you want her to cower or to to keep her mouth shut?

She fled her home. She's not being smug at all, you are reading into it what doesn't exist. Hell, how can ANYONE be smug about facing death threats?! That just makes no sense!

You're an idiot.

Dude, it doesn't matter who she points the blame at. Shit like this is a reflection of us all.

By you essentially calling her a raging man-hating feminist you are perpetuating the very reason she is speaking out. You are the problem here.

Do you realise just what that sounds like. Say it aloud. Death threats are involved, at a university ...

this shit is out of hand.
