Nah, it's pretty much always a crapfest when gender is discussed on Gawker. There's a lot of great people but also a lot of brogressives who are good on most issues but seem to have a blind spot when it comes to gender politics. There are also more trolls there since it's the flagship site of GM. Although I find…

Is anyone else really annoyed by the dudebros that infest Gawker? I wrote that "pussy" is a sexist insult and I've been regaled with angry guys for hours now. None of them have made any convincing argument either. It's pretty much just "it's not sexist because I say so."

Seriously. When I was in college I made out a little with an acquaintance who had a girlfriend while we were both drunk. He confessed to his gf the next day and on my small gossipy campus, word got out and I was the villain. Not him.

I've been consuming wine and did a little mini drunk cry just there.

Joyce was always letting vampires in the house before she knew Buffy was the slayer!

They did at last let Charles Gunn get some intellectual prowess. Of course, not until a white man gave him a magical brain upgrade.

Even though I'm a big fan of GoT, I completely agree with you here.

Related trope is that atheists are only atheists because they're bitter or traumatized and so turned away from god. Mel Gibson's character in Signs and Nicholas Cage's in The Knowing are the biggest offenders. Someone can never just be an atheist because they happen to be skeptical or religion just isn't for them. …

True. It also insinuates that it's okay to be a jerk if you're smart and can solve problems.

I vaguely remembered seeing a Tori Spelling movie with this same plot and had to look it up. I was right.

I'm a horror movie fan so "fun" and "absolutely terrifying" are synonymous to me :)

Eww.

Yes. You are way off base. Being autistic doesn't make you a creeper or a predator. I can't imagine my brother ever becoming a PUA. I'm really sick of people doing this. It reinforces negative stereotypes about autistic people and it's often used as a silencing tactic against victims of sexual harassment. Just…

I've seen PUAs describe abuse as "dread game" before. A woman who is broken and afraid is more pliable I guess. *vomits*

Roosh has admitted to raping a woman who was too drunk to consent. Rape is not "game."

The total lack of self awareness these dudes have is always stunning.

Yes. It's hard for you misogynists to have to live in a world where women are human beings and you're expected to treat us that way. You poor dear. Of course you're frustrated and have to show all us uppity women our true place as the sexual class. Mean old feminists!

He was part of PUA Hate. They're bitter misogynists who are angry that PUA doesn't actually work. Meaning they either tried it, or at the very least contemplated it. They're of the same ilk. They both hate and objectify women.

Who was demonizing men who don't harass? And yes, you are tone policing if you expect women to go out of our way to pat you on the head and assure you that we know #notallmen commit street harassment every time we discuss it.
