I’m betting it’s our old pal Locomotive Jones, from the syntax and puerile desire to provoke.

Address the whole statement, not the fragment you pulled out of context. “Women are just beginning to process the collective grief we’ve suffered, so men’s feelings aren’t our top concern right now” =/= “women don’t know how we’ve been treated.” Not even close. If you continue pretending they mean the same thing to…

when women carve out a little slice of the internet it would be nice if men didn’t take up quite so much space on it.

What happened to him, did he die?

Yaaaaas. Preach. It’s the same logic of women defending Al Franken because he’s “one of the good guys.” We don’t have to settle. Men can and should be better.

Don’t forget the “ally scarcity mentality” these shills always promote. “Ladies, shh! If we aren’t nice to these five weird dudes who constantly spam the Jez comment section, we’ll have no male allies left!” Meanwhile I’m thinking about my husband, dad, brothers, uncles, friends and other men who are my actual…

I was about to make a post about this but then saw someone had shared Marx and Sparks comment to our lovely little backwater so I calmed down.

Hmm, let me guess. *Scrolls down*

*misreads a clear statement by pulling one word out of context in order to take offense and embark on unrelated tangent*

You’re a shill.

The funniest part is, Rando is admonishing us that if we aren’t nice enough to the men here, we might lose such trenchant and helpful commentary as “wow, my wife thought this guy was probably a creepy predator and I minimized her concerns, but it turned out she was right! Wow!”

This behavior is something that has always bugged me, although the content of what he says is okay. He has openly said that he’s on Jez all day at work and is very fast to make the first comment. Like, great, I guess, but maybe do that over on the NYT or Washington Post comments? Why intentionally dominate a feminist…

It’s pretty easy to figure out who the men are. Just look for the “As a man...” type comments, which are constant.

Maybe instead of posting on every single article here they could join me over in the male dominated spaces like reddit where I’m trying to convince young men who are only hearing MRA propaganda that women aren’t their enemy. That might be a lot more helpful than cluttering up a woman’s interest site with things…

This is correct.

I mean, read the OP’s comment. This seems like a case of ...

It’s not unusual for the top four or five comments to be from this tiresome pack of dudes who seem to think their banal opinions are absolutely indispensable.

I’ve made too many litres of French onion soup not to adore M&S’s bags of presliced onions...

Is there any subject that won’t cause you to pull an opinion out of your ass?
