No no not what I meant. Obviously in no way SHOULD this be happening but anyone who's been around the internet for 5 minutes could tell you this was GOING to happen. I think the backlash helps prove her point, and I'm guessing Lindy was well aware the form that backlash would take.

Obviously Lindy's been hanging out with Anita Sarkeesian too much.

THIS.

How angry these dudes are getting means we're winning.

Yeah, she totally shouldn't have worn those slutty, well-reasoned opinions like she did. She had it coming.

Rock the fuck on, Lindy!

The kind of rape-joke that feminists have a problem with are LAZY rape-jokes. Jokes that don't say anything other than, "the concept of a woman being raped is funny," are lazy jokes, and if a professional comedian can't do anything better than make lazy jokes he or she should go back to amateur hour or just get off…

Haters gonna hate. Keep your head up, girl.

Lindy is so spot on with all of this. Aside from witnessing the high-falutin dickery of the incredible online responses [ :( ], I can say as someone that regularly hits the open mics that there is very little awareness that lamo rape jokes are a) lame and b) small, repetitive endorsements of disrespectful behavior…

What Jim Norton doesn't understand is that just because nothing is off limits when it comes to comedy, that doesn't automatically mean the controversial content in his comedy is funny. It's simply not.

The sad thing about this is that it doesn't even surprise me. I am sorry that intelligent debate is constantly shut down by this kind of pathetic response. Boys don't like it when there 'things' are criticized or if you come into that space and try to make it equitable for everyone.

If I ever feel sad or freaked out about the inevitable heat death of the universe, all I have to do is come back and read this post and I will once again be calm and ready for the sun to go supernova and take us all.

Holy bleeding eyeballs. But yeah, God forbid anyone tries to intimidate a male comedian by saying that his jokes are inappropriate.

It's amazing the effect this has when read out loud. I get so used to reading shit like this on comment sites that my eyes start to slide over it after awhile, but hearing it brings it back into very sharp relief.

Props to you Lindy for stepping up and standing up. By doing so, you are exposing a dark underbelly that needs the light of day shined on it.

I also don't understand why people go straight to the looks thing when it comes to women. If they don't like/agree with what you said, then may an argument but going to put downs about someone's looks just brought me back to recess and the playground. Super immature!

Haterade is, at minimum, 90% you-so-jealous. Never forget it.

A bunch of brave, brave men using pseudonyms to anonymously threaten and demean a woman for publicly having an opinion they disagree with.

Yeah, I hope they all die in a fire....

GAH CAN YOU AT LEAST SPELL YOUR SLURS CORRECTLY?
