Who is “everyone” whose reaction was “what about dads?” From what I can see, you’re the one who brought up paternity leave and imaginary MRAs clamouring for it, everyone else is just replying to your comment.

And there should be paid paternity leave too - especially if we want to get out of society mandated gender roles that say women should be responsible for most of the child care even if they also work full time, just like dads. However, maternity leave first and then paternity leave - just like pretty much every…

I have an idea: get a dictionary and look up “criticism”, then look up “harassment” and “bullying” and you’ll see they mean different things. Criticism is fair game, harassment isn't, regardless of how that person feels about Scottish independence and who they gave money to.

Unless she physically dragged people to the polls and forced them to vote ‘No’, she is well within her rights to donate her money to whomever she sees fit. You might not like the ‘No Campaign’ but it’s a perfectly legal and valid political campaign and not liking what it represents doesn’t give you the right to harass…

I wasn’t aware that criticism was synonymous with personal attacks, harassment and bullying. Or is that only in the Scottish edition of the English dictionary?

Yes he did. However looking at some of the tweets he received I would say they qualify as harassment/bullying. Just because they didn’t make him quit doesn’t mean they weren’t out of line.

I doubt it was only feminists who cared about Zelda Williams - in fact it was all over the mainstream press. If a woman had been subjected to the exact same attacks as Whedon, how much do you want to bet that Jezebel would have written about it in a different tone? Look, I agree with you that women are probably…

Not everyone in Scotland is a separatist - I mean, the referendum didn’t pass, for God’s sake. The Labour party is the British Labour party, why the hell would they ever support Scottish independence? It would make no sense.

So what? She can give 1£, 1 million£ or 10 million £ and it doesn’t give anyone the right to attack her just because she doesn’t believe in Scottish nationalism.

So... women being harassed on Twitter are victims and heroes but a man quitting Twitter over attacks received is “precious”? Nice. And before you accuse me of being an MRA, I’m a woman and a feminist who happens to believe that wanting gender equality doesn’t give women a free pass to act as abhorrently as MRAs do,…

Who said it isn’t? I don’t see any difference between JK Rowling’s harassment on Twitter or Joss Whedon’s. Both were bullied and the Whedon case just proved that feminists can be just as bad as the MRAs they usually accuse of being the only ones bullying people on the internet. People are assholes, regardless of…

Please tell me you grew out of that shit?

I think it’s a lot more of a sensuality thing for me. You probably think I’m reading too much into it but for me it really is related to sensuality and personalities. Not necessarily in a sexual way but while I don’t want to get all Nigella about it, food kind of is like sex, or at least it’s kind of how you “have…

Let me guess, you’re a chicken nuggets, tater tote and baby carrots kind of gal? Or those people who always order the chicken breast at restaurants?

It’s one thing to try something and then decide you don’t like it (and even then, I’m if the view that you have to try something more than once to really taste it). And it’s not about having a few things we don’t like the taste of - everyone has foods they dislike. I’m talking about adults who flat out refuse to try…

What? How is that even possible? Unless you were talking about Gwyneth Paltrow approved organic chicken nuggets made from rare Polynesian chickens exclusively fed a diet of hand picked organic grass and hand-picked organic corn.

This just proves that nothing good can come from an adult picky eater, or the people that raised him/her :P

Yes! It is absolutely a moral failing!

Why are you friends with this person?

Nothing kills a lady boner like a grown man with a toddler’s palate and a fear of trying new things. Yours is a perfectly valid reaction.
