I comment, I downvote, I comment again.

You and @Light Emitting Diode are both part right. You in the sense it's pretty much impossible to change the minds of an entrenched group. Mob rule and hive minding are so fueled by inertia that once a group is locked onto a belief it's not going to change until they decide so. BUT LED has it right on the mirco…

Exactly, the point of this article can be applied to all criticism, even criticism of pro feminist, lgbt, and racial equality pieces. I'd say bad criticism falls inline with a culture of upvote trolls, people who intentionally get into arguments online when they think the have they moral high ground when to get those…

Of course someone with a muslem avatar would say that.

This makes all the sense.

He expressed a slightly different opinion, get him!

Oh, into space. I thought you meant something very different.

Thanks for putting a lot of thought and effort into you response, this is what I was looking for.

I like how you're writing paragraphs in response to something you say should be ignored.

Okay, the gamergate and rape culture debates have outed a number of closet sexists as such. That's not nothing, but how long will it be before the effects of that are seen in the number of women developers, the proper representation of women in gaming, and the expectation of a safe environment for everyone in…

And "ban all the guns" is a practical response that is definitely something that can happen here in the US. Still waiting on how you're going to relate that back to my original assertion that branding all sexism as rape culture might be counterproductive in the long run while still asking for alternative opinions.

And is there a second part to this comment about how these problems don't require the diverse, nuanced responses I asked for but one easy fix that'll solve everything or did you just see an opportunity to try and be smug and conceited?

Someone expressed an opinion slightly different from me, get em!!!!

How about cancer? There are dozens of types of cancer and they all lead to the same thing, by your logic they should then all be treated the same.

I essentially agree with everything you've said, where things get murky for me is when it comes to solutions. The whole discussion hopefully highlights the wrongs a lot of behaviors that the transgressors never would even consider to be a problem, but that only goes so far. Polarization works for some things but this…

Do you have a point or is this just about letting everyone else know you're an asshole?

Is there any better term for this than "rape culture". Not to suggest that everything in the book isn't real and awful (as are the numerous examples in the comment section) but the term "rape culture" make the problems of misogyny and gender rolls seem monolithic and interconnected. From my personal experience there…

But isn't Regis Philbin already married?

This song is way too mean to Donald Faison and not nearly mean enough to Zack Braff
