To be fair, the worst of it definitely comes from the trolls. But yeah, a lot of commenters there seem to think gender should only be discussed on Jezebel and nowhere else on GM. It's ridiculous.
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 vaguely remembered seeing a Tori Spelling movie with this same plot and had to look it up. I was right.
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.
If you want us to stop discussing street harassment, do something to make street harassment less socially acceptable. Talk to other men about it and why it's wrong. Call out men when you see them acting inappropriately if you don't feel it's unsafe to do so. Don't try to tone police us while we talk about a very…
Google 'Renaissance nudes' There's no such thing as a perfect female body. There's only what current culture deems perfect.
The world must always drop everything when a boner update is afoot!
Tea party Republican and MRA ideologies converge quite a bit. MRAs are always complaining that our society is "gynocentric." Now we have the religious right calling anyone remotely pro choice a "gynecist." Both groups are just so terrified a woman might have bodily autonomy.
I believe it was Grassley whose tweets Stephen Colbert said looked like the result of someone smearing tuna on an iPhone and letting a cat go to town on it.
