Feminists can’t have this both ways. Either death threats are abhorrent and inappropriate and should be treated as legitimate threats or they’re not. To put it another way, if it’s wrong for GamerGate, it’s wrong for feminists too. And I bring this up because this is all the same shit that Brianna and Zoe caught when…

As a feminist who hasn’t always identified that way, I don’t think you’re being completely fair here. To people who are “against feminism,” it is not simply a matter of equal rights; it involves specific policy positions on topics like abortion and the prevalence of rape.

No, if you said you were against equality that is what you would be saying, If you were saying that woman should be treated as property then you are a monster. If you point out that Feminism has become an extremist stronghold that treats men like animals, and collectively attacks anyone that doesn’t back it 100% to…

Ironic? No, it’s not ironic. What he said was so god damned true. It wasn’t karma that bit him. It was truth. For simply voicing his opinion of the toxicity of Modern Feminism, he was ripped apart, thus proving his assertions completely accurate.

Oh, dear gawwwwd... This guy has been 100% proven correct in his assertions. Look at these vile feminist comments in here. Voice any dissent about Modern Feminism and you get branded all kinds of ugly names, careers destroyed, and you’re shunned into exile. Disgusting.

Unfortunately, feminism has become associated with more than just equal rights. It isn’t that simple anymore.

That part made me uncomfortable as well. Can we be better than Gamergate, people? Please? We can make fun of this guy for his stupid remarks, we can decide not to buy albums or go to shows. Sending hateful messages does nothing to change this dude’s opinion, in fact it’s proving his belief that no one is allowed to…

He was talking about journalists. None of the people you cite were journalists.

Over on gawker there is a theory that some trolls come from inside the system (tomato) to drive up hits/comments. That may explain the lack of block button if true

So, your ‘experience’ as a commenter on a gossip site has led you to certain consclusions about writers who have influenced journalism for the last fifty years or so? You frequent a site, where journalists online content generators gossip about the Kardashians 24/7, hail popstars as the epitome of feminism and…

I mean, how in the world, other than being an unmitigated asshole, did he not name his own wife as an influence. She was my first thought as well (right before Didion, Hannah Arendt, Margaret Bourke-White [photojournalist, but still inspiring], Nora Ephron and Frances Fitzgerald). She may not be a writer per se, but…

Considering who his wife is, you’d think he’d be able to conjure up at least one name

Random older man sexist! News at 11.

Maybe. I read it as saying she has trouble staying with a long term relationship because of restlessness and/or commitment issues. It’s not that unusual for someone with a fucked up childhood/parents to have issues with marriage and relationships as an adult.

If you cheat on your spouse (assuming that’s not part of your arrangement) that kind of deserves to be shamed, no?

we need to have it more often

Is everything back to the way it was before yesterday? I’m a little sad because it was fun having Deadspin hosting.

Thanks, this makes me feel better. My son is not circumcised. He was in the NICU the first few weeks after he was born. We couldn't imagine putting him through that on top of everything.

Thanks, Jenno! I’m so happy to see all the foreskin positivity here.

I rather like uncircumcised peens. And a good percentage of the guys I know that are circumcised wish they weren’t. For me sex feels different with uncircumcised penises(it feels better!) I think that most women who are turned off by uncircumcised penises have never experienced one.
Ladies need to stop shaming intact…
