I hope she’s safe. I feel for her. She gets abused, and now it’s looking like her legal team are mishandling things. Ugh. This is a horrid situation all the way around.

To be honest? Most trolls, me included, are assholes. People who like to stir shit and laugh at the chaos. Me? I like to grin at the kind of bullshit people take seriously and how much they assume from a simple statement that could mean nothing.

Jessica Smalls is a feminist who disagrees with you.

What makes you think you’re the only one I’m responding to? I’m hunting for and bookmarking other examples in between replying to people on here. I normally would try to have at least two or three examples per post, but I’m a little swamped with replies today.

It’s worth noting that if this article was on Gawker (or really, pretty much any non-feminist site) the comments would be full of people saying things like, “Lucky kid” instead of “Why aren’t we calling this rape and grooming?” This isn’t speculation — articles like this have appeared on Gawker many times, and that’s…

How about Tumblr? Their sections on feminism are pretty much MRA training grounds.

Who said anything about equality? We’re discussing destroying the patriarchy. Different thing.

Those laws need to be done away with. Seriously.

Ah. Makes it more clear. Sorry about that. I get a lot of people making assumptions about my beliefs based on my posts.

The majority of reported rapists are male. Don’t forget there is a range on how many rapes go unreported, which goes from “way to many” to “Mad Max’s world suddenly doesn’t seem that bad.”

But blanket statements about “feminism” are neither helpful nor true, given the plethora of feminisms that exist.

Okay, I accept that on sex. Now, my question: Given this article and how many like it have been on Jezebel, why is it that the focus on teaching people not to rape always, in conversations, concentrates on teaching men not to rape?

Where did I say I don’t believe in feminism? People like to put a lot of words in my mouth.

Try looking up a woman named Mary Koss. She’s done work for the CDC and FBI.

Which groups? I admit I’m curious as to what ones. I know RAINN does. But they’re also mostly ignored by a lot of society unless people need statistics to fight over.

Often, it makes this kind of shady bullshit necessary for the system to even work. In order to deputize someone and have them work effectively, they need to know the case.

There’s a prevailing attitude in American culture that males can’t be raped by women. It even shows up on quite a few feminist sites.

Dude, way to man up.

Why the fuck do they still practice this?

This kind of sharing happens involving police a lot more than you’d think. Sometimes, it’s far easier to say it was from an anonymous street informant than admit you illegally got a copy of FBI paperwork from an FBI buddy.
