Claiming that is a rhetorical tool used to shut down discussion. Of course misandry can and does exist, though not very much in contemporary society. Misandry is simply the hatred or oppression of men. Now clearly men are not oppressed in our society, but plenty of individual women, including feminists, do single out…

This whole thread is a huge breath of fresh air. I keep reading jezebel because they report on relevant stuff but god I get so tired of the misandry in the articles. It is like we are back in the 60's and the only way to be a real feminist is to hate men and be a lesbian. I think this whole campaign is clearly…

Not super surprising. The reality is that if a man were to start a campaign like this against women, Jezebel would be just as up in arms about it as the twitter men are about this one. She is basically saying that her life is better without men, which, great for her. It sounds like a lot of second wave stuff to me…

Will butt in and take:

"In conversation, women will often include more details in what they say. This can include memories, their emotions, or encouragement to others to do the same. Women conversing together tend to have conversations with more layers and depth than men, with each woman adding more depth to a topic. On the other hand,…

Please. It's hard to get a word in edgewise around most women. They run their mouths like a stream of conscious diarrhea and hardly ever get to a point.

Right, except for Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, Benazir Bhutto, Indira Gandhi, Srimavo Bandaranaike, Chandrika Kumaratunga, Margaret of Anjou, Mary I, Elizabeth I, Catherine I, Catherine II, Catherine de Medici, Isabella, Maria-Theresa, Boudica, Cleopatra, etc. (we'll leave out military commanders like Joan of Arc or…

I think you mistake a certain social pervasive concept of the self with an inherent gender-based behavior. I hate people like you describe. To the point where I cut people like that out of my life quick. They're often men of the post-boomer-ish generation and my observation seems to point more toward the entitlement…

Because the blogger suggested one group of people stop listening to another group of people based on their internal plumbing. Now some of the reactions to this may have been out of hand - but the initial action certainly doesn't sound like it was advocated by a Feminist.

"Give a man a conversational hand job, or risk getting accused of misandry."

Depends. Are you belching out an avalanche of consciousness or using an economy of words, as you would in a written paper to be a submitted for consideration?

I think anyone's more attractive if he or she demonstrates an interest in you. In my opinion, the real evidence of sexism in the study isn't that men find listening sexy, it's that women are less likely to do so. Like, when a man is polite and considerate it's more likely to be considered a sign of weakness, which is…

Get ahold of your emotions, dude.

Considering that Margaret Thatcher was a thing that happened, anyone who's surprised at the idea that a woman can start a war has not been paying much attention.

Unless Erin Gloria Ryan has been raped, as Dawkins has, then you have no place in this conversation. White feminism strikes again.

Wonderful - more blather about slut shaming. The problem with the whole 'slut shaming' meme is that it's hypocritical, and Jezebel's self-righteousness about it is embarrassing.

I can think of one comment thread that Kate Dries will probably ignore...

"First of all, I think that's kind of below the belt. That's something that should be private," she said, before explaining that she felt what they had was real.

You guys, this is fake, right? I'm sorry but they come across as really bad improv actors.
