I said I dont feel sorry for the guy as I would feel sorry for a woman

THE PATRIARCHY DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO MUTILATE ANYONE. FULL FUCKING STOP.

The comments on this article show outright that the women here have issues with men. It is black and white. A sane person would not support the mutilation of another human being. Not that it matters but women objectify men all the time. There is at least one article per day on Jex that objectifys men. I don't care,…

Then why do you carefully avoid to label her actions as horrible? That was the strongest worded criticism you could muster "obviously Khoza didn't deserve to have acid thrown on his penis"

The points you make are 100% valid. The point I am making is that the attitude of commenters here is the exact same i.e. a normalised attitude to a disgusting assault on another human being. I'm not saying that you shoould support this guy, but there are commenters taking joy in this mutilation, making jokes, enjoying…

I just can't believe both the flippant (and somewhat [though I'm sure unintentional] non-sequitur-ial tone of this article [pretty sure South Africa has a set of social traumas outside the Bushes and Jenny McCarthy) and the already long stack of comments condoning physical violence and vigilante justice in this…

THIS. I keep getting replies to my comments here that are basically to the effect of "well if you don't agree with us, go hang out on StormFront or Fox News" and I'm just like, wow, you really are so blinded by ideology and have such a limited manichean worldview that you don't realise that there is an entire world of…

I publicly condemned the acts of Radical Feminist protesters in Argentina, when they were assaulting men, spraying paint in their eyes, all because the men were locking arms to prevent them from burning down a church. I said that violence is violence, no matter what social equality cause you try to use to justify it.

This is the issue I've been facing head-on all day. I've become disillusioned with liberalism due to massive unchecked hypocrisy in the feminist/racial equality/social ideal circles I frequent. I'll never be conservative, but that doesn't mean I can't hate the ever-loving FUCK out of everyone that is on "my side" by…

Jia, I would like to take a moment to address an issue I've had with you since your Hairpin days: I think you have a black feminism problem. He primarily attacks black feminists, and you yourself have taken issue with black feminists' criticisms of mainstream aka "white" feminism. That's why you can't entirely…

Who gives a shit whether you "care"? Why does it matter?

This is the smartest post in this entire discussion. It makes me sick to see the way the dialogue on this is going. The left is succumbing to the self censoring anti intellectual hysteria that has been the trademark of right wingers for so long.

This is no place for rational thought. CONFORM OR FUCK OFF

Thank you. And hey, lots of women feel this way too so can we stop it with the intellectually lazy habit of dismissing everything we don't like by saying it was written by a white dude, so there's no way there can be anything valid about anything he says? It's that kind of immature, irrational siege mentality that…

Jia, honest question: If this article hadn't been written by a guy, what would you have based your rebuttal of his arguments on? Because I'm a woman but I basically could have written that article. I tend to feel the same way as this guy and I agree with him that while I agree with the generally noble intentions…

I truly hate the term "political correctness," but the thing is, there's a grain of truth under all this. The internet HAS produced a chilling effect among leftists, especially aggravated by social media and how easy it is to tweet "Kill yourself" at someone who makes an honest mistake. Writers, comics, satirists, and…

Comments like yours hurt the cause of victims. I said explicitly in my comment that

Funny things?

Come to think of it, many of the big 00's indie-rock singers came across as nothing more exciting than record store clerks who had the cool "recommendations" lists.

"Anyway, so if you can't stand and GOD YOU JUST CAN'T NOT TAKE UP SO MUCH ROOM BECAUSE THIGHS then don't ride the train."
