Of course it’s always easier to see the complexity in our own identities and thoughts while simultaneously simplifying and categorizing those of others, but I guess I’m not clear on how Jia’s positioning herself wrt to the notion that stating what type of feminist you are not is insufficient to indicate what kind of…

People DO enjoy expressing frustration, rage, and anger. It provides a rush of endorphins and a sense of control in many cases. This is healthy in most people but some get caught in a positive feedback loop and become essentially, rageaholics. I bet expressing these feelings on the internet works the same way,…

This, for me, is the problem.

Adults shouldn’t be fighting. No one, regardless of gender should hit someone else. The fighting is inexcusable. Starting a fucking Twitter campaign because some randos didn’t bring you ice and then say you’ll get raped at their bar? Like you said, it sounds like she’s hella-exaggerating, trying to get revenge on…

OH MY GOD. This woman is DOXXING people on Twitter who disagree with her! She is tweeting the e-mail and IP address of men and women who don't support her! She is trying to get other people hurt and injured!

Anyone stirring shit at that time of the night can get their own fucking ice pack.

So they can’t get involved in a fight a block away due to liability?

Hughes’ blogpost and social media campaign ostensibly had a positive outcome, in that it resulted in empathy-deficient security personnel losing their jobs.

I actually helped to build that place and know Richard Kelly and his business partner personally. They are decent people who do not deserve this kind of backlash from an unfortunate incident that happened unfortunately in the vicinity of their establishment. Her vitriol seems misguided, and I hope that she will be…

‘Oh, so you’re the one who got punched in the face? I can see it because you’re really annoying.’

You’re supporting this person way too much. Apparently she’s contradicting her own story, but ignoring that no adult should be leveraging thousands of followers to torment/ruin an entire business with many employees for the sake of getting back at a security guard.

She wasn’t fighting off an attack at that point. She was chasing her attackers and macing them. I wouldn’t get near an angry drunk person who is also macing someone.

This is unreal. Fuck social media and fuck this girl.

TO BE FAIR, we don’t know what the video doesn’t show. Why they wouldn’t get her ice we don’t know, but those bouncers had no obligation to step in, primarily due to safety concerns and liability.

If she walked up and said, “Excuse me, I’ve been punched. Can you get me some ice for my face?” and they responded as they…

Yeah, I had a certain amount of sympathy for this woman up until that point. Now I think that anyone who would write that is probably exaggerating other aspects of the story too. If I were the bar owner, that would have been enough for me to tell her to go fuck herself.

This entire story is complete fucking nonsense. She maced some couple on Halloween and then doesn’t understand why some random security guards wouldn’t be super pumped about helping her.

I’m sorry - how was this avenged? I just see someone trying to make themselves into a social justice activist. More propping herself up than anything.

She was in such fear for her safety that she chased the man down the street so that she could mace him!

You will get roofied.

People who get into bar fights don't get my sympathy. This woman sounds like a borderline with an alcohol problem. Not excusing the other couple, but not at all giving a shit about this woman.
