Seemingly harmless statements can be USED as harassment

Oh come on, honestly. He’s trying, and I’m not going to nit pick what he’s saying when clearly he’s trying to do the right thing.

I’ve been asked out on the street at random by very attractive men, and I was flattered because they were attractive but also I was like “what’s wrong with them that they are approaching a random woman on the street?” It’s odd behaviour, even if in a different setting I would be receptive to it. Also to your claims of…

I mean, you’re basically asking how people make a living off of blogging. It’s pretty challenging I assume but there are entire websites dedicated to that; if you’re a writer that other people want to read, you can make money.

Ha!

100% the advice I give any guy who asks me how they can be an ally. Your fellow bros are the ones who need talking to, not women. Be an ally where we are unable to go; don’t perform allyship in front of other women.

Honestly, the majority of editors are men. And men think other men are just so clever, so insightful, so sincere about their underrepresented views on women, they simply have to publish them.

What is that quote? “We don’t need men in feminist spaces, we need men to take male spaces and make them feminist.”

And, if my anecdata from college can be trusted, approach every self-proclaimed male feminist with a healthy dose of skepticism, as they have a nasty habit of mansplaining feminism to you and/or using it as a buzzword to try to wheedle you into casual sex with them. (Because if you were a good feminist, you’d be…

men can be feminists, but don’t trust a single fucking one who makes a living off feminism.

What a delightful human being. He and Hugo Schwyzer should go out for drinks sometime.

I’m a man and I hate men right now so I understand

At least this one is literate.

Oh god. Her uncomfortable laugh. Her trying to play along at the same time as putting him off, her attempt to normalize things as she’s sexualized in front of everyone so she can save a scrap of dignity. Recognizable and awful. Fuck this guy. This is public sexual harassment. Disgusting. These are so many men who…

He’s one of the many MANY false flag commenter paid bots from last year, likely using a new name.

It’s all good. Everyone’s angry forever and I understand why; I certainly am.

In one swing? Hell, I’d care about that—truly impressive timing and force.

I love how she manages in such a short time to make everyone evil or stupid but her - Obama is neglectful (because on top of trying to govern, focus on OFA, and actually campaign for individual candidates he should have been spending his down time raising fat cash for the DNC I guess), DWS is incompetent (possible,…

I’m kinda of torn. Yes, at face value I don’t support the idea of anyone facing serious life consequences over anonymous claims. But I don’t think that’s what is happening here- although this part isn’t clear from the article. What I think is happening here is that women are hearing from friends and colleagues that…

I don’t disbelieve any of this (who the fuck understands how intra-party politicking works, honestly) but it seems awfully self-serving. I wish it had been properly reported so that we weren’t just taking Brazile’s word for it.
