Yes, I agree, but we’re in dire need of more fire breathers on the left. Too often, lefties hem and haw and conciliate, while righties browbeat their opponents and beat them down with lockstep messaging.

The saddest thing about Weiner, other than the pain he inflicted on his family, is that he actually had promise as a fire-breathing liberal pol. See, for example, his raging house floor speech about preserving health benefits for 9/11 responders. If he could have kept his id channeled towards politics, we could…
I feel the same way, minus the sad sack part. I mean, she’s allowed to grieve so I won’t begrudge her that. But I hope she’s living her life and not even thinking about that awful man, because that’s really how you move on and be happy.
I was fine with “give Trump a chance.” Not so much with his suggestion that Trump didn’t admit to sexual assault, because grabbing women’s genitals without their permission is totally consensual if they keep their mouths shut afterward.
White women who voted liberal are not complicit.
As a white female voter who voted for Clinton...
1. My close family member is epileptic and I certainly wouldn’t downplay how terrifying seizures are. I know that very well. Nor is this the first time this has happened, although it is the first time I can think of that someone has said one Twitter-sized strobing image caused a seizure. (The other incident I’m…
Except there does not appear to be any compelling evidence to suggest that the first person 1) knew that the person was epileptic 2) thought that a GIF that has been around for forever would actually trigger a seizure. Even if he knew the man suffered epilepsy, only 3-5% of epilepsy patients are photo sensitive, which…
Maybe HE should just “quit his career and stay offline” if he doesn’t like seeing seizure gifs. Good for goose, good for gander, etc etc.
Are you fucking kidding me?
for fucks sake. Do you understand hyperbole to make a point? Jesus. Women are told all the time “what do you expect you’re a woman in x,y,z” it doesnt’ fly anywhere else.
yet here we are arguing about whether or not a blog is treating a man seriously enough. Come the fukc on.
I’m making a point of what would be told to a woman who gets harassed and threatened online. What does a guy with epilepsy expect going online like that?
while a rape victim who sees disturbing images or words would be deeply upset or anxious, they would not be in immediate physical danger
When women across this country try to get help after avalanches of death and rape threats online, sometimes even on video, nobody understands the internet, nobody can use a computer. But a Black man uses a gun emoji and a copy emoji next to each other on FB and suddenly they are computer whizzes enforcing the law to…
Yes, that’s what this article said. You nailed it.
“So basically any large group of men just turn feral and can’t be trusted? It might seem hyperbolic but I am truly wondering. Why exactly should I trust men?”
He’s a journalist and he wrote and article about this so he let his name to be known. He probably didn’t realise how bad it will get (many people, especially men, don’t realise how viscous men like those get on the internet when you interfere with their misogyny and/or porn) but hopefully he and his family will get…
What a low opinion of men your father must have. Men are rapists by nature? I don’t buy it. I think that shit is taught. If I am mistaken, then men aren’t fit to participate in society (which I don’t believe).
