If the way to troll women is to threaten them with rape, while trolling men rarely involves that tactic, then this is obviously misogynistic and whether or not every single troll who engages in it realises it's misogynistic is beside the point. It's an expression of the standard issue misogyny we have in our offline

You totally get me, you lovely wee mommet.

Honestly, at this point I want to emulate Jay and Silent Bob, with the printing out of trollish comments, hunting down said trolls, reading the comments back to them, and punching them in the face.

Ugh my husband is the most frustrating one. He too firmly believes in equality and respects women and all that, but he really doesn't get it either, and so it's led to many, many fights, especially now that we're discussing children. (I'm afraid I might actually lose it and kill him if he gives our daughter a speech

I think occasionally, you have to take a step back and just breathe. Take a day or two or three away from the news and the internet if you're going on overload and getting all rage-y.

I think it's okay to be outspoken about feminism some days and to sit back and relax on other days. I imagine that taking a break every now and then will not only make it easier for everyone involved but people be more inclined to listen when you *do* say something instead of just filing whatever you say under

They do love the attention, they do love to argue to minutia and derail the conversation

I respect and admire this woman so much. Not only did she write an amazing set of novels, she's also one of the few people (or is she the only one? I can't remember) to ever drop off of Forbes' billionaires list because of her charitable contributions and because she actually pays her share of taxes. She was on The

The grumpy, cynical part of me says this is still a PR hoax to prove to everybody that she can write grown-up books.

YES. This.

ESPN comments section just started requiring people to start signing in with their Facebook profile. If you're gonna threaten to rape someone or call the president a nigger, make sure you stick your face right next to that nugget.

Well, yay.

That CreepyAssCracker troll is in the greys complaining that Lindy should grow a thicker skin because he encounters aggression on the internet all the time and he's not scared!

That is not a valid excuse

"Also, one of Creasy's online tormentors was actually arrested—a scene so cathartic I might have it drawn on top of a cake and then have sex with it."

On the other hand, though, this week someone created a parody account of my dead father to harass me because of my stance on rape jokes...

Simple solution.
