There's a special kind of hate directed at those who voice support for feminist issues.

It's more virulent and far more copious than the hate directed at people for speaking out about other political issues, about religion, etc. Journalists and bloggers have been writing about the phenomenon for years now.

This guy does a great standup routine about it
h/t to NuclearDem for posting it elsewhere, so I could enjoy it and share it here.

Hmm... Wonder where are the defensive deniers who've relentlessly denigrated DU feminists?

***crickets*** (apparently)

Anything to distract from meaningful discussion, you know. Either whine about how there are more important things to talk about, personally attack the people sharing information, or just act like a clown / frat boy / pig / cheerleader for the same.

shows that your ratio is hardly out of line. There are several threads with over 100 to 1 ratios. Sorry looked at wrong column this ratio is fairly high.

Maybe it is the topic but I don't find it entertaining or very funny. I'd like to see his stance on some other issues. Or maybe something I can actually laugh about.

For all their talk of how they would love it, men are horrified if women pursue them. "Desperate" and "throwing yourself at him" is what a woman will get if she wants to pursue/seduce a man. So it's not like they really think it would be great if we wanted them and said so.
