Wow. I am so happy for you that you got out of there relatively unscathed. That whole situation was fucked up!

That is just awful, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I don't get these women. I hope there is a hell. My sister was so abused by this jerk, that she went back home with my parents, so damaged, depressed, very thin. Her psychiatrist told her a few weeks ago that now that she's doing so much better he can tell…

Yeah, you must be a real victim of oppression when your biggest experience with bigotry is someone saying something not directed at you in an internet comments section.

There, fixed it for you.

"Women shouldn't take nude pictures of themselves anyways" is the internet version of "women shouldn't dress like that."

"...maybe men on the internet don't think that women are actually people."

Stealing pictures is not free speech. It is theft and harassment and bullying. Any guy who does this is a fucking douche bag and deserves nothing but contempt from all humanity.

the bigger problem is the fact that women the the massive majority of the attacked. this doesn't lessen the experiences of the men or genderqueer peoples this happens to- it DOES provide a statistic that shows how chronically objectified women are when compared to other genders.

It wouldn't make a difference because they don't see the women in their lives as real humans either, just props. Or they see them as exceptions.

The worst ones are those who are taught this by their own Goddamn mothers. My mother-in-law is one of those hardcore anti-feminists, and I have no clue how my husband emerged unscathed. That's why groups like Women Against Feminism bother me - they are raising/going to be raising a generation of men to not respect…

I went over to 4chan this weekend to see what the hell 4chan even is and was so disgusted by the way they talked about the celebrities. They would say how stupid the celebrity is for taking a picture of themselves, how slutty they are, and how they deserve it. Then follow all this by saying how much they're going to…

Exactly. We really can't do anything about people who were raised so poorly and ignorantly. These are the men who do the most to repulse women, punish women and then complain that women are bitches and feminazis ruin everything.

Yeah, there are a LOT of folks who seem to think that "free speech" means that you are legally obligated to say every foolish thing that comes into your stupid skull.

I am confident that our cat overlords will have ironed all this bs out by then.

How lovely that free speech means "a lot of things" to one moron. Because it means exactly ONE THING in the Constitution.

WHAT ABOUT THE MENZ

i got in a back and forth with someone who kept being like 'well free speech means a lot of things to me.' like sorry idiot free speech means one fucking thing. ONE THING.

I don't know much about Reddit, but the more I read the more convinced I become that is just a murky cesspool of weird, stunted dudes attempting to act on their most destructive urges under some sense of protection. The fact that there's so many if them and that they band together so quickly is sort of... Distressing?…

4Chan and Reddit, two web communities that fancy themselves promoters of free speech and privacy

Honestly, they don't think women are people. I really just wish they would have the balls to come out and say it.
