shrader Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 People seem so quick to label these trolls as sexist. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of these people are serial line crossers with their comments. If you're throwing these comments out there at just about anything, you've gone well beyond sexist and you're just a horrible person as a whole (give that whatever label you want).

Cugalabanza Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Spot on. I agree that it's pretty much just wholesale shittiness which is best disregarded. ("Don't feed the trolls") However, there's also some extra evil misogyny there too, which is important to recognize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I bet if you look deep enough it'd be abundantly clear that those who do this are either just that mean and hate filled or just being an idiot with 30 seconds of free time being an !@#$.

Cugalabanza Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) its not hatred toward women, its deep down hatred for all. And I bet if you look deep enough it'd be abundantly clear that those who do this are either just that mean and hate filled or just being an idiot with 30 seconds of free time being an !@#$. Some of it was very much specifically hatred towards women. "I hope you get raped again." I think the point is that the amount (and kind) of abuse that female public figures have to endure is a little worse.

Jauronimo Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Some of it was very much specifically hatred towards women. "I hope you get raped again." I think the point is that the amount of abuse that female public figures have to endure is a little worse. The language and subject matter available to men relative to women is disproportionate, as it is in any scenario where there's a history of structural imbalances of power. There isn't a real equivalent to the C-bomb or threats of sexual assault at a woman's disposal. They can drop a bunch of a WWII era dumb bombs but men have the nuclear option. Same thing with the classic N-bomb. That word still inspires strong responses, meanwhile there is no single word you can direct at my white ass that will even make me flinch. That said, I bet if you checked the posting history of the artless trolls responsible for those tweets you might find similarly disgusting remarks pointed at men in sports broadcasting. There are likely a few special cases, but generally speaking I doubt their animosity is reserved solely for women. These are same type of people dropping N-bombs and Holocaust references in the comments section of CNN. These are the guys yelling slurs from moving cars.

boyst Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Now that's just ignorant. they'd say the same thing just as quick to a man. That it was directed toward a woman is only circumstance. They'd be just as spiteful and hateful to a man, a tranny or a dog. Some of it was very much specifically hatred towards women. "I hope you get raped again." I think the point is that the amount (and kind) of abuse that female public figures have to endure is a little worse. what he said above. Spend time on the web long enough. Find the deep web. You'll see the belly, the home and the heart of this. Its directed at anyone who is willing to listen. Those that listen are the first to have it directed at them more.

Sure, there are plenty of hateful !@#$tards who will badmouth anyone. But to say there aren't also a large population of misogynistic !@#$s looking to trash women is, of course, ignorant.

The Poojer Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 and that's fine, i think we have all gone off on some of the local scribes that cover buffalo, but none of us has ever wished harm on any of them, and if there was a hint of it, it was probably(hopefully) painfully obvious that it was tongue in cheek I think Sarah Spain is awful, but that was crazy.

Mostly because Moran offered up his children's lives as collateral in some form of truth barometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I don't understand the point of this video. It just points out that the internet is mean... like water is wet. As far as trying to imply that women have it worse, I don't buy it. More hate is directed at men than women online. The difference is that we have an instinct to protect women, and let the men take it. Any woman that gets "harassed" online immediately has everyone coming to their defense. People take notice and rally. When was the last time anyone defended a man getting ridiculed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
