The last place I worked, the top sales rep was a woman. She took some maternity leave, as you do, after several years at the company and after earning the company literally tens of millions of dollars. While she was gone, management audibly bitched and moaned about how awful she was for "abandoning" them (for three…

It's simple really. If a woman points at my penis and tells me that it will be in her vagina later that night. Then we have consent. If that doesn't happen then I ask, "Would you like this penis to be in your vagina?" If she says no or doesn't answer then we don't have consent. This isn't rocket science for…

Yes, it says that some people's opinions are more worthy of listening to than others. That's hardly revolutionary thinking. I wouldn't ask the drunk down at the bodega for his opinion on my life insurance and I am perfectly fine not reading anything you write on feminism. I mean, look at your own contributions just to…

Purposely using very offensive images designed to shut down debate, argument, discussion and interaction is not, you know, debating, arguing, discussing or interacting. Neither is re-traumatizing survivors of sexual assault.

Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know compassion couldn't encompass more than one kind of victimization. I will just inform all those women who've been raped (myself included) to stop being such wimps, get over triggers and being re-traumatized, and shut the hell up. Yep that'll fix things.

CNN will be glad to hear that his life was not, in fact, ruined.

You know, that's exactly like saying that a battered woman should just shut up and let her batterer beat the crap out of her, because drawing attention to the fact that she's being beaten to a pulp will only make it worse. Seems to me like the Jezebel staff have quietly taken the punches and gone to the authorities…

To quote a famous post from a previous reincarnation of Gawker: "4chan is all about mind control, the embryonic marginals of society become entrapped there, pupate and ultimately emerge as "soldiers of 4chan," i.e. mind controlled psychotic killers; it works by the principle of reflexive (or mirror) mind control,…

1. It might, if it gets attention from other places and draws attention to lapses in judgment at Gawker. Online sites live and die by PR.

You wouldn't last five minutes as a woman. Seriously, if you're a man, you have *never been targeted in this way*, you may have seen some nasty stuff and called a name or two, but have you been barraged with it? For months or years? Have you been threatened with rape/had people fantasising about raping you on the…

What's perhaps most frustrating to me is that people like myself would be more than happy to do our share of active moderation for free, but the Kinja platform fundamentally lacks tools that would enable us to act as moderators. There is no "report" function, and even if it was, there are no tiers of privileges. As a…

You have a massive empathetic blind spot, and are basically doubling down on these trolls' belief that there isn't room on the internet (all public spaces???) for 'sensitive women'.

"as I guy I know..."

Yeah, that's your problem.

You may have seen men getting trolled on other sites. I very much doubt you've seen men bombarded with rape and death threats as a disturbingly large proportion of women have been just for being women online. You are blind and dreaming if you think looking below the line…

Because the gifs specifically show women being brutalized. While everyone should be bothered by these gifs (as they are disgusting), I don't understand why it's hard to see why this is a women's issue.

Jezebel has always attracted far more numerous and vitriolic trolls and harassers than any other GM site. There are a lot of twisted, angry people out there who are particularly enraged when women speak in public.

Why would I expect too see that?

Even though you never should have had to, thank you for writing this.
I have only run across the psychopath a couple times, and that was enough to turn my stomach and put me off the internet for the day. As a survivor of sexual violence Jezebel has been a relative safe space for me, as far as safety can go for women…

I really believe you should slow your work, seek medical treatment for stress at the cost of HQ, and then based on the outcomes of the treatment either file for workers' comp. or go on strike/sue. Make it too expensive of a problem not to fix.

No, and fuck you. Jezebel should be able to post articles about whatever they damn well please without having to deal with rape gifs and gore porn and whatever the fuck else. Those are being used as a silencing tool, and your comment is no better.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Isn't there another vehicle for anonymous tips that would allow the comments section to have recorded IP addresses?
