Too bad I wasn't talking about just this forum.
Men harassing women is a BILLION times more prevalent than women harassing men. The comparison is almost laughable.

Oh and.
Men harassing women is a BILLION times more prevalent than women harassing men. The comparison is almost laughable.
And really, what I have been experiencing thus far from both yourself, the OP, and a few other users could be construed as harrassment.
Not that I am inclined to allow myself feel like a victim, I believe it shows a key weakness in the arguments of others and am thankful for it.
However the fact still remains.
Lets see I've been called stupid, a misogynist, definitely have had my views intentionally misrepresented and probably a few others I've missed.
All for disagreeing while not offering any insults on my own.

A thought about not choosing to be a bystander when others are being threatened and abused online or offline.

Once again, the thread topic is about the way women are treated online by a certain section of male society. Which is what I'm trying to discuss here.

We get it: you think men have the right to verbally abuse women online and that right should be protected.
You want to pretend that language is harmless and words are innocent. Bullets are also innocent - intent is everything
This thread is about online abuse of women - and misogyny. So, whatever or whoever else you might decide doesn't deserve your common courtesy or support - this thread is definitely about women
It's all the real world. The thing that connects us is language. Our words mean the same thing online as they do off - and hate is hate in here as much as it is out there. We are known by what we say Pinocchio. It's my sincere hope that one day you will become a real boy
The topic seems to always shift back to me and what I want. If intention is everything, what is your intention by continually doing this?
But it seems apparent that those in this very thread against misogyny, have no problem being just as slanderous, threatening, belittling, and in your case, dehumanizing, as long as it isn’t directed at themselves and people like them. All that talk of good behavior, that support, that civility, that courtesy, that respect, to one another, thrown right out the window at the exact same time it is promoted.
I often see people condemn moderate Muslims for not speaking out against terrorism (they do, BTW, it doesn't get reported) and I think its about time the decent guys out here actually started to try and take the 'net back from the assholes out there.
