So Pro-lifers, I got something to say, why do you care so much about something that hasn't been born yet, but when a child is born (especially if they're born in a disadvantaged circumstance), you couldn't give a single shit. So much for being "pro-life" by killing doctors, harassing/stalking patients and bombing

OK, I sort of get where you're coming from now, at least with the "creepy" part. I still don't get "entitled", though. If the guys had kept asking her out even after she turned them down, or insulted her for turning them down, that would be entitled. Simply asking someone out on a dating website, even prematurely,

So the way these men were acting entitled was... by sending messages to someone on a dating website? And the fact that she was crazy and illiterate makes there message-sending even more entitled?

Yeah, the one I linked in my initial comment. So you think simply trying to talk to someone who sounds crazy is enough to make one creepy. If that's your standard, then fine, those guys were all creepy, but that is a ridiculous standard. Many of the comments from that woman came across as someone with a whacky sense

"Son of a nigger loving atheist bitch" BOOM HAT TRICK.

Oh, for a second there, I thought you were onto something real. I'm disappointed.

"he was surprised that so many women were filling his inbox with requests to meet up and have coffee"...must be nice. In the several years I've been on that site, I've received a message from one woman and never got a single response from any of the very many I sent.

I can remember like three separate articles on Jezebel about women creating fake dating profiles to fuck with men (example). None of them, incidentally, were as negative as this one, either in the article itself or the comments.

Wait, what? You got all that from an article about him talking about a robot he used on a dating site? You either of psychic level insight or you're plain making shit up.

Of course. Because all men are sinister. It might not be brilliant experiment, but it does raise some interesting questions.

I get the concept of click-bait, and I'm sort of hesitant to use it here. Ms. Brown makes fantastic points, and there is some sort of failing on media's part for not offering the same amount of coverage that you're seeing on Twitter: it's that you don't have to verify anything to throw it up on Twitter. People in the

Sure do. How would you classify Al-Jazeera? The Washington Post? The Huffington Post? How local is nbcnews.com? What about the New York Times? Or NPR? Or Fox News? Or ABC News?

Okay, so your lede is mentioning how Twitter "woke the media the fuck up", but you also say that the police are forcing journalists to leave....which suggests they were already awake and there, and trying to document things. So which is it?

Twitter is completely irreplaceable here. I hate it as a social media platform, but I don't think anyone can doubt its power as a force of news and awareness after tonight (or, you know, the Arab Spring). When I came back and heard what happened it was the only place I could read about it and see the images. CNN,

Yes, because advocating police vigilantism couldn't possibly lead to any negative consequences like say, a black kid getting gunned down.

That's really not helping things. We either follow the law and the Constitution or we don't.

No sane person I know of wants to do away with "positive masculinity."

Be careful, that kind of talk will get you accused of being an MRA by the crazies, because encouraging positive masculinity is only something an MRA would want to do!

As others have said, it's the idea that the only way a guy would behave in this way and defend women is if he wanted them to himself/to sleep with them. It's a toxic idea promoted by both MRAs and many women here, who don't believe that men are capable of actually doing the right thing. And in the process, both sets
