Fantastic article. Let's not leave the total dismissal of our views out of the picture when it comes to online discussions, either. This rant has been building so even if it's only tangentially relevant, I'm posting it.

The problem is women are essentially being told to play "rape Russian roulette" when they're threatened online. Chances are it's some repulsive dudbro who feels powerful behind a keyboard but has no real chance of hurting you, but what about the times when it's not? So until someone can come up with a way to know…
Do you want a company to be able to hand over your IP information simply because another person didn't like what you said?
I want Daisy and Anna to commit a series of fiendishly clever and totally untraceable murders, which nobody will ever suspect them of being behind, because, duh, it's Daisy, and sweet, kind, intrinsically good Anna. They could start with Mr. Bates, because everybody wants to kill Bates (let's be honest) and everyone…
Can we stop referring to science as a character that does things? It's really strange and anti-intellectual.
They will have to get another maid, CASE CLOSED
I angry-clicked this headline thinking you had dared to say something mean about Cher, but haha, no. Anger gone now.
Well they probably aren't reading the names on movie posters. I found out who Brad Pitt was when I was 13, and my Mom bought me Shania Twain's CD with the song "That Don't Impress Me Much," in which one of the lyrics is, "OK, so you're Brad Pitt." And I asked her who Brad Pitt was, and then I knew who he was. Now…
You should've watched it on Christmas! Nothing says fun family cheer like Cousin Matthew dying from a car wreck!
You're right that some people do enjoy that attention. However, it is on the person who is giving the attention to be aware of and sensitive to the fact that the object of their attention may not want it. And, if they notice that it's not being well-received, to stop. The problem is that heterosexual men often feel…
So because you enjoy being stared at, and maintain that some women love being stared at, that means the rest of us that don't enjoy it or are threatened by it should...what? Just get over it? Nope, sorry, the onus should be on people who display shitty behavior to modify it, not for the people on the receiving end of…
Some people enjoy being repeatedly punched in the ball sack. What's your point?
I do NOT appreciate it when men openly stare at me for awkward lengths of time. If I catch you looking and you keep looking, it's freaking creepy. I also do not appreciate being whistled at, hollered at, barked at, beeped at, honked at, or when a man is staring so obviously that he is hanging out of the window of…
I was thinking about this the other day. So many of the things we take for granted in romance are incredibly patriarchal. It just occurred to me how gross the idea of your father "giving you away" at your wedding is. I mean, sure, tradition etc, but the idea is literally rooted in GIVING AWAY PROPERTY TO ANOTHER MAN.
I commented on one of those. Something to the effect of "Oh great, a new way to let your impressionable daughter know she's a piece of property! She "belongs" to her father until he decides to let someone pork her? Great way to let a young woman know her worth!"
This is just constant. Not just celebrities, but normal people as well - female gamers are apparently 'fakes' ... I remember when I was in high school and there were 'punks' and 'emo kids' and whatever, the girls were always seen as doing it for male attention, not because they actually liked the music. But the guys,…
As weird as Fitz is, I find it odd and unbelievable that he said that gross stuff about how Liv tastes and "I'm screwing her, ya know." to her father. I mean what the ever loving fuck?
