Let justice rain down in Ferguson...giving justice and peace to Brown's family and their supporters.

Well these guys were obviously part of a fraternity with a culture of committing rape, and they're at a school that thinks reputation matters more than real and future victims which has never expelled anyone for rape nor added it to a transcript record. So the answer to your (rhetorical, I know) question is "quite…

The irony of that is that women are more likely to be raped while in college. Fucked up.

Every action in this case - from an organized gang rape to a code designed to protect the school's reputation despite it putting all its female students at risk - is exactly why few are impressed at the anti-date rape drug nail polish as a tool for ending rape. This problem is deep and the cultural attitudes and…

No

You'll never experience things how a woman would. Because you're not a woman. Move on.

Wow thanks for your comment! I was inspired by Kelly Oxford holding it down on Twitter the other night

They're different. Women's lives are defined by rape: 1 in 3 of us experience it; all of us plan our lives to avoid being alone at night, to guard our drinks; these threats mean something different when a man is threatening a woman with them. Which is what we're talking about here, not asking who in the world has even…

it's all good!

Men don't experience being female and being threatened with gendered threats of rape because they're not women. They might get threatened but it's not the same. Obviously, or this wouldn't be a story.

I totally appreciate your ally ship. But surely you can distinguish between your role here (feeling disgusted) and a woman's (having to move out of her house because she fears being raped, something we plan our entire lives around avoiding because 1 of 3 of us experience it)? It's not the same. That's okay - it's not…

I was referring to gendered threats of sexual violence not doxxing.

IDGAF about empathy because I'd rather have action. That's just personal.

Your argument was that men get it if they've been threatened. Gender doesn't matter. It's a similar argument I hear people make about Michael Brown: race didn't matter because it happens to whites (it doesn't - white people don't get killed while being Black). I was making sure you weren't one of those because then Id…

No men - including gay MEN - will experience this behavior in the same way that a woman would because they aren't women. I'm not saying men don't get threatened with violence. That's not what this article is about.

No

They're not the same. Let me ask you a non-snarky question. Is the Mike Brown shooting not a race issue because white people get shot by the police too?

Again, I'm not saying being a man or white means you can't fear violence. I'm saying that what we're talking about HERE - a woman receiving gendered violent threats from men - is not something you can experience if you're a man. Because they aren't the same. Because gender influences our lives. And therefore saying…

I'm not saying men don't get threats. I'm saying the same threats sent to Anita are inherently different when sent to a man. Because the way men and women experience the entire world is influenced by their gender. Just like a white person can never understand what it's like to be a Black person experiencing racism.
