Maybe you should consider that leaving people alone who want to left alone is part of fundamental human decency. You don't get to reframe decency as others just behaving how you want them to behave.

Sorry, my phone posted too soon. People are not required to speak to you just because you want them to. Do you even comprehend the fact that women deal with harassment all the time and have good reason to refuse to talk to strange men? Or do you only care about your own feelings?

No, no, no. You are not entitled to interaction with anyone. People on public transportation

As your people say, bless your heart.

This year, my city (Minneapolis) is recognizing today as Indigenous Peoples day instead of Columbus Day. It makes very happy.

This is the best counter trolling I've seen all day. You win one internets.

You mean pro slavery politicians, lawyers who represented slave owners, and merchants who sold goods to slave owners?

Trolls never read their own links do they? Or they have really poor reading comprehension skills.

Who are you to tell someone how she should respond to doxxing and death and rape threats? I suspect you wouldn't be so flippant if it was happening to you.

They aren't being mocked for gaming. They're being mocked for being cowardly misogynists. Gaming is completely mainstream. Something These guys hate because they want it to be an exclusive club. They are trying to have it both ways. They want to claim an oppressed minority status so they can call themselves…

This is the falsest equivalence I've ever seen. Feminism does not support castration. I've literally never encountered a feminist who is for. Gamergate, on the other hand was started as a harassment campaign. One movement is for social justice, the other is about trying to silence people who care about social…

Most death threats probably aren't serious. But You have to take them seriously. Sometimes they are carried out.

It is political. Misogyny is very much a political issue and anti feminism is a political stance.

She had 700 untainted responses. That's a decent sample size. She wasn't using her data to make the claim that gg is a hate group though so I'm not sure what your point is. Gamergate brought itself in by trolling her project. She just happened to notice the parallels between gamergate and hate groups and wrote a…

That was probably my nutty right wing uncle.

I have the same fear. It's a big part of why I never wanted kids too.

might I suggest that you wouldn't have to worry about this bullshit so much if you ladies weren't obsessed with finding a "bad boy" and changing him.

Yep. We're also misandrist to believe that men are capable of basic self control and decency and don't have to harass/rape/assault every woman who gets drunk around him or wears a low cut top.

I love the classic Zeebo the clown episode. I also used to think the episode about the girl who gets a pair of glasses that lets her see shadow people from an alternate dimension was really scary.

It's cute that you think you're the first person to ever notice that some women will such up to the patriarchy in hopes of taking advantage of it by getting close to it.
