The point, and I will make it a third time more, was to compare a 'feminist twitter mob' to a 'misogynist twitter mob'. The latter are far more common, vicious, invasive, and sexualized. The former could hardly be called a mob at all. I provided thirteen examples of women who have dealt with...

Then what, exactly, are you saying? That a certain victim of abuse is not a nice person? So what? If the information you posted is not at all relative to whether they deserved to receive death threats then why did you post it in the first place? What relevance does it have to the...

Gadarene, I will get to your second and subsequent posts presently, but I've never been able to resist low-hanging fruit.... This is a clear indication that you did not read the articles linked, since Helen Lewis's article is a compilation of testimonies from nine other bloggers. By all means...

So, in your first link post, your evidence that feminists hate men can be summed up as: Many people, male and female, feminist or not, are annoyed by guys who take up more space than they need to in public transit. Some feminists have expressed their opinion that rape jokes are not funny and...

As your claim doesnt make it false. You used that as an example of how 'mainstream' hating men was by 1) quoting it out of context (only providing half of the title) and b) saying it was a headline when it wasn't. Is it really the same thing, or is it just you feeling uncomfortable about being...

One of the many reasons rape is traumatizing is because the rapist steals a person's control over their own body. Seems to me, the best way to heal that would be to give that person their control back - letting them decide what to do about the resulting pregnancy. Of course I would make sure...

I'd encourage her to make her own decision, and support whatever that decision was, abortion or not.

Hey, if you're saying it's time to leave all the world's bacon to us heathens... I could not agree more. :D

I don't know about immoral, but I do agree that it's a serious problem. I think it's weird that you're excluding extremely wealthy people from responsibility here. If we're looking at this on a per-person basis, wealthy people consume far more than others, often by owning more than one or two...

It is all discrimination, and hinges on the rather simple question - do people and businesses have the right to discriminate against customers for reasons that do not affect their ability to conduct business? (For instance, it would not be unreasonable to deny service to someone who has made...

Hey, take your time. I expected to be waiting for quite a while anyway.

Wow, that editor must be really misbehaving.

Does Allah's law only apply to Muslims?

It sounds like Joe and Jane, despite what I'm sure is a lot of love and history together, may not be cut out for marriage/a long term relationship any more. There are two good ways to resolve this (to my knowledge). The first is a friendly, honest break-up. Neither of them are getting what...

My parents did their best to explain things to me, to make sure I understood WHY something was wrong. Demanding obedience without comprehension is how you treat an animal when you're it's master. So what's your god? Father, or Master?

Is it wrong for criminals to act illegally and endanger the lives of others? Uh... yes. Yes it is. This is a weird question. Although on the topic, I'm very surprised more criminals DON'T put orange caution tape on the barrels of their guns to make them look like toys... except maybe that...

The point of her article (linked here, for those who are wondering what we are talking about) is literally that feminists don't actually hate men. (It is also, by the way, NOT a headline of a newspaper as you earlier described, but the title of a short opinion column) "...(A) younger...

You misunderstand my statement. Housewives can be feminists too, and housewife is a perfectly fine thing to be (as is househusband). By mentally chained to the kitchen, I was thinking of women in subcultures like the quiverfull movement or in those remaining mormon sects that practice polygamy...
