It's totally misandry that we expect not to be harassed and rape. That's creep shaming!

Are you talking about me? I was merely pointing out that not all harassment victims are physically capable of fighting back. Also, sometimes fighting back can just get you more hurt. What if the attacker has a gun? What if he knows MMA? Sometimes fleeing or freezing is a better option. Of course women can take

If we aren't allowed to be angry when a man posts a misogynistic manifesto and goes on a killing spree and people react to it by saying misogyny isn't an issue, mental illness is, when are we allowed to be angry?

And if I buy into the just world fallacy nothing bad will ever happen to me!

I never got ungreyed in the version of kinja we had last year. Not here, not Gawker, not Io9. I'm not sure why because I'm not a troll and my comments often get plenty of recommends. I still would rather go back and have to be a grey again. The trolls are out of control now.

The comments here and on Gawker have been such a horrible frustrating mess that I've just been leaving comments and not even looking at my notifications. I can't deal with it.

Are you a psychiatrist? What gives you such authority to say you know for a fact he was psychotic when you clearly don't know what it means? People in the midst of psychotic breaks rarely commit violence. They are more likely to be a danger to themselves than others. When psychotic people do commit acts of

How dare someone advance the agenda that women are people!? That's just terrible!

Exactly. Rodgers sounded like every other guy in the manosphere.

Wanting to fuck women =/= loving women.

Even if they didn't have enough evidence to put a psychiatric hold on him, isn't it a little telling that they thought he seemed like a nice young man who was just a little lonely? It's an entire society wide issue that misogyny isn't taken seriously and the police are a part of that. Lets not forget the long

It's very telling that you think the best reason not to catcall is that it doesn't get men laid. You express no concern for the boundaries or sense of safety of the women who get catcalled.

Not every woman is capable of learning MMA and kicking the asses of all harassers. Disabled and sick women get harassed too. Lets tell the harassers to respect women's boundaries rather than putting the onus on victims to react a certain way to it.

Street harassment happens everywhere. Moving to another city won't help.

Wait a minute. First you were arguing that not all men are violent entitled misogynists. Then, twenty minutes later you argue that men can't help harassing women because it's in their biology to do so? Make up your mind.

It isn't an isolated incident. The way Rodger's spoke is terrifyingly common. It's rare that a misogynist go on a killing spree, but they harass, rape, dox, stalk, catcall etc. every day. The notion that men are entitled to our bodies is so normalized that people are actually not even seeing the blatant misogyny in

First of all male entitlement and violence against women is not a problem exclusive to Islam and/or predominantly Islamic countries.

Oh for fuck's sake. Did you even read what you wrote before hitting publish? You are implying that if we aren't sufficiently nice to angry misogynists we should expect violent consequences. A couple of negative experiences with girls should in no way lead to genocidal rage.

That was your takeaway from my post? Disabled isn't an insult. It doesn't mean broken or defective. Lots of people with (formerly known as) Asperger's refer to it as such. It also trivializes the effects of autism on people who aren't on the extremely high functioning end of the spectrum. My brother isn't just
