Yea? And then it's mocked throughout the entire body of the post.

Again, I have no reason to rule that out. But it's still a horrible (violent) thing for a person to go through. My issue is with the article's comedic tone.

It is generally used that way, but how it's generally used is irrelevant to this topic of discussion. I'm not saying it shouldn't be reported upon. It's the giggly tone of the piece which is immature and hypocritical to any perceived movement toward sexual rights/human value. And this happens here a lot. Calling me a…

Those are both acts of violence.

It's obviously sexual in nature. An act of violence perpetrated against someone's sexual identity is sexual in nature. Stop your trolling.

If you don't already know that "dick is abundant and low value" you aren't reading the most hateful people on Twitter. Get with it.

Why is this horrific sexual violence being played for laughs? Shows how little we value male lives in our society.

Maya Jane Coles, LOUISAHHH!!!, Miss Kitten, Tokimonsta, Annie Mac, Anja Schneider. There, I just named six. I could go on. Paris Hilton, DJ she is not.

A better question is why we should measure their sales against each other's, and how it plays into the misogynist habit of assuming any two women who exist in the same space are competing. John Cleese and Martin Short have memoirs out too: Why not throw them into the comparison?

Why are we pitting two successful women against each other, yet again?

NOTE NOTE NOTE: "men are simplistic" is a harmful opinion of men and is PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE PATRIARCHY. when men feel defeated, weak and masculine when they have complex feelings, it is because of the patriarchy. when men ARE simplistic, ignorant and can't control themselves, it is because they are…

It's actually about ethics in science journalism.

As someone who is currently collecting the stories of women in my church who have experienced sexual abuse by their husbands out of duty/obligation (either implied or at the instruction of church leaders), this kind of crap really, really pisses me off.

We *have* to have men stand up to their fellow men about this. Men who rape do *not* respect women, they will not listen to us and they will not hear anything we say. Pressure from our feminist male allies is the strongest weapon we have to put pressure on this kind of rapist and to force otherwise good men who have…

Your dick is small ya ya ya

Thanks for yours! I don't totally disagree with your perspective and I think talking about these terms can be valuable in itself.

This. Especially that part about black women and "Womanist:" despite many feminists insistence that Feminism is an all encompassing word, we really don't get to choose if that is true or not. When another group, in this case black women, are saying that feminism isn't for them, we really need to listen and not just…

Actually I think that when so many people — many women — have an issue with a term, even when we are well aware of what feminism entails, maybe the term itself could stand for some reconsideration. I feel like the term has lost all meaning in a lot of ways: Sarah Palin calls herself a feminist, Sasha Grey calls…

(Full disclosure: Grimes and I know each other, and worked for the same newspaper at different times.)

"Carrie Murphy is a poet, freelance writer, and certified birth doula."

Okay, suddenly the smug sanctimony of the article makes a lot more sense.
