Credibility with whom? The people who mock shit like this are not the type of people who matter. 4Chan & Redditors can mock it all they want. No one cares.

This is 2014. Just staying off the internet isn't an option. It's an integral part of all our lives.

Real feminists don't believe that, misguided wannabe feminists do.

Please explain your comment. I spend more time on majority-male websites than on Jezebel, so that's not all there is to it. What confirmation bias do you think I'm suffering? What do you think I'm not seeing on majority-male websites?

I hear what you're saying. I guess though, some women feel like all men are out to get them (I don't condone that, for the record) because they constantly run into things like...catcalling, rape gifs, etc, which remind you that there is a dark side to society and you're the target. If you've been attacked before or…

Callie, I agree completely with your comment. If you see this reply, I hope I express myself well. My initial reaction seeing the words "it's so much harder to exist as a woman on the internet" is to recoil. This is partly a more general reaction, I think, to "it's so much harder to exist [in space x] as [member of…

No. Please investigate the meaning of irony.

As a woman, if I were to view violent rape scenes of men raping women I would feel offended and scared, because I am a woman. That exact scenario could (and in some cases of commenters, HAS) happen to me. I have the same body parts and social considerations many other women does. This is targeting women, not just…

So, as bad as the comments on those articles were "There were no rape gifs for gore"? Why was that, do you think? If trolling is everywhere (and I think you're right about that) then why was the form of the trolling so different between here and there? I would suggest to you that no one (or few) trolling on those…

I know it is illegal, but these posters are happy to do it anyway. Apparently they feel that society's rules do not apply to them. I wonder if by saying "trolls will be trolls, just ignore them" we as an internet society are empowering them to continue their behavior. Ignoring them has always been my way of handling…

I sincerely hope that some of the replies you've received — those that harshly disparage women in general, and people concerned about women's issues in specific — answer your question.

It would just be nice to have a place to discuss things with folks around the world without having to look at rape porn, quite frankly. Where else do we go, but the internet? There are no safe sites, really. It's such a big discussion medium saying "maybe the internet is just not for you" is like saying, "oh, all…

I can see no way this would be detrimental to the product.

Clearly you never read any actual feminist writing.

Yes, we just need to stay quiet and not expose ourselves. Congratulations on being part of the problem.

Exactly. The whole line of "if you don't like the response, don't speak" mentality to be pretty horrifying.

You're an idiot.

Who are these women who are not harmed by internet comments? Are they telling you specifically "I am not harmed on the Internet by comments"? I also don't like getting harassed walking down the damn street - should I stay inside?

Because women are more likely to be victims of sexual assault IRL?
