This is definitely a specific MRA community. It’s been well known in online circles for awhile and is infamous. I’m not really sure how your unfamiliarity or the unfamiliarity of others is a case against reporting on it. Your suggestion instead is to focus on positive things and ignore the negative, but trust every…

If it helps, you’re not currently speaking to a white woman, and you’ll find that especially third wave feminists (who get so much shit, some well-deserved) are way more focused on being inclusive. Third wave kicked off in response to the notion that Second wave feminism mostly focused on the experiences of middle…

No accounting for sampling size error (but seriously, that’s for the best).

Thanks for sharing this perspective. Ironically, having more guys like you talk about this stuff would be a huge help, because you have important and useful things to add to the conversation.

Two things to help clarify for you:

Just because this isn’t relevant to your life doesn’t mean it’s not relevant to the lives of women who work or communicate online. Go check out the #MoreThanMean video or read Lindy West’s article about confronting a troll who was using her dead dad’s name and photo to harass her. If you’re like me and you work in PR…

You might though, but not in the way you think. How many guys do you know that act like a woman is a bitch if she doesn’t sleep with him, slut shame, act entitled to pussy, troll women online for lulz, etc? How many guys do you know that feel like they’re not fully part of a household or caregiving unit, that the…

I think (hope) you’ll find that most feminists, when they say they want to promote equality, really mean that they want equality for both parties. That means allowing men to be seen as important caregivers because they absolutely should be. You’ll also notice that there are more commercials where dads are seen caring…

Say what you want, but wheelchairs are never a step too far.

A Muslim Sec of State: “THE CONSPIRACIES WERE TRUE ALL ALONG!”

This is better than any response I could have written.

Right? He really says it best when he points out that he was removed from a presidential rally, not because he was saying or doing anything disruptive but simply because of who he is.

For the same reason BLM protestors do their thing? Many of these folks have never met (or more likely don’t realize they’ve met) a trans person before. It’s also much easier to talk shit about a group of people when not face to face with those people. I think he was hoping that by being there and by allowing them to…

Here she is like, “But I love lemonade! What’s the problem?!”

You probably wouldn’t know him, but let’s just say, being a dick to PR people is always a horrible idea because word gets out. These kinds of people get reputations fast through their own actions alone.

It helps that there are way more of us in high roles. The more we support each other, the harder it is for these guys to pull this stuff off. I wish she had come to me sooner, but I completely understood her worry about job security and losing a high paying client. No client is worth that though. You’ll never get…

If I had to guess? Affluenza.

I don’t work in the music industry, but I work in PR and promotions. Sometimes the “up and comers” are the very worst, because they come in with these notions of what they’re entitled to, and that includes the people working to promote their asses/brands/products/whatever. Recently one of my team members came to me…

There was a really good ad a few years ago about the “types of women” who get heart attacks. The point was that it’s anyone and for women it’s especially dangerous because the symptoms are so varied and not necessarily obvious. Scary to think of when heart disease kills so many women per year.

It’s like the digital equivalent of sending a card and nudging others to do the same. I’m sure they’re also contacting him directly, but you don’t want to flood someone who’s in mourning and overwhelmed with calls and visits.
