After his comment that he doesn't mean to hurt people's feelings, she decided to finally publish the evidence that shows he is lying about that.

From what I understand, the whole point of his show is to cause harm. And so many little Internet trolls think that's just great fun.

of all kinds, because all of a sudden it is cheap and anonymous to spew your hate widely and regularly. This encourages all sorts of fellow nuts to come out of the woodwork, and pretty soon you have a soothing and encouraging group of morons egging each other on.

The internet is the PERFECT medium to spread, encourage, market, and validate any and all sorts of dangerous and not-so-dangerous mentalities.

and the whole of us can address it. instead of pretending it isnt a big deal, doesnt effect our real life and the generations that are coming up behind us, or pretend we can do nothing about it.

An actual bitch is a female dog, and you are an actual misogynist. You just happen to find it to HOF on your second post? Please.

ass that some mens privilege and entitlement is so that even if she is a boss, she dare not rub up against the man code.

Somehow, I think not.

Imagine seeing it in response to efforts to address hatred, harassment, abuse, etc. toward any other group.

Actually, I used to see it here often about the subject of bullying in school. Anytime the issue came up, there was a chorus of voices which rose to claim that we couldn't hope to change it.

a lot of men, in particular, don't seem to give a damn.

And they are not shy about saying so.

was perfectly alright and if anyone was at fault, it was women.

last week.... and i for one appreciate the sacrifice (hides, lots of them), lol. i really like the OP about what men can do. and i noticed how these men handled the issue, addressed it more in that form. instead of supporting the women, addressed the issues. it was good for me to see.

and me, all tired, and lacking energy, lol.

to see a few more men speaking up here lately, and elsewhere online too. And not just the obvious issues, but the more insidious stuff too.

Was really good to see.

the growing of consciousness.

It is a good feeling to feel that we might FINALLY be getting heard and understood.

through television, games especially video games, movies, and of course real life (most people don't take too long to realize that generally daddy's life is more comfortable and secure than mommy's will ever be), this author Penny wants to focus on what is happening well after the horse is out of the barn so to speak?????

I guess some try to claim violence on screens doesn't encourage violence, so they'll try to claim misogyny on screens doesn't encourage misogyny, but I disagree with both. I think we are just too wrapped up in our desire for violence, and if it's violence against women then it's the best drama on tv this week. Go figure. Our problems are so much deeper than the net.

It's part of what feminists fought against

The net is a brave new world. Misogynists might have ranted to their buddies, or letters to the editors, or whatever, but they didn't have the free fall free for all the anonymity of the net to spew their hatred. This is the net fighting back. Many Women AND men find this crap vile and useless. We get the same advantage of anonymity if we choose to speak up and speak out. Our culture is changing. I have hope its for the better

don't friggin' worry about words until you, we, finish the fights we've started and not succeeded at. Words are the surface, we need the depth of equality not an appearance of appeasement.

equal pay and legislative control of the womans body. some of us believes that the ever growing ugliness toward women causes the ripple to grow into a wave. and some of us believe we can handle a whole host of issues that women are faced with today and they all tie in together.

At a time, we can fight a multi front action.

cut off a bit and it continues to grow.

Some are more serious sure, but that doesn't mean you let the "little" things fester. Leaving some things completely ignored is the reason raunch culture is out of control.

of raising two boys. being a parent and therefore aware what the tv, movies, music and net is creating for our kids to live. with that ability to see what was manifesting, and the bushco years of machoism and add the raunch society you speak of, we created this perfect storm. when unraveling a not, you cannot focus on only one string.

encourage that growing disrespect for women (and any other group, for that matter). I think the internet howling and spewing of the formerly ignored idiot male faction of the population has indeed allowed very seriously dangerous shit to spread widely and even influence lawmakers who would otherwise not vote like idiots.

I did not say that no one should fight what goes out over the internet -- I just said the horse was out of the barn and good luck with it. Individual websites, IMHO, should strictly monitor comments and remove racist, misogynistic, etc., stuff, but that doesn't keep these sorts of people from making their own sites and saying what they want.

IOW, we at least need to stop encouraging them.

artichokes like I do, too????

just my contradictory self.

ah well.

Its good that misogynists have a place to vent, that others can see it and react. Words do matter. When language holds women hostage, it's harder to work for the tangible. I can post a few articles on this by successful women. Or some history.

Look at the state of women in politics. Yeah, we made some gains, but not enough. All these women, left or right have had to wade through sexist language. At the same time all have to fall within 'feminine' norms, and still are subject to all kinds of abuse. It's ok if you don't think this is worth fighting, I do.

I don't know what you mean by 'bodily decisions' in this context.

I read some of the comments here and decided that if I wanted to keep my optimistic mood I'd better start ignoring that thread, let alone the video.

Didn't last long anyway, natch.

I'd rather read MRA blogs.

I'm a big believer in knowing what others think, specially if I disagree

disrespectful. from the start. i have boys. lol. i do not allow an attitude if they want to be taken seriously. i could not get beyond that.

He's gotten some good information mixed with bad, I'd say he's about 14, so he's not lost yet. His obsession with foreskins and testicle removal is quite interesting and probably developmentally age appropriate, Too bad hasn't accessed decent information.

The CDC just released some stats on intimate partner violence, showing men creeping up statistically, with a surprisingly high number reported, around 10-15 percent behind women in certain populations. The CDC of course bases its statistics on reports. Bisexual women have it the worse, with about upwards of 50 percent having experiencing IPV.

Poor kid so much potential, and so much sexist indoctrination.

Edit

Here's the PDF report

http://www.cdc.gov/ViolencePrevention/pdf/NISVS_Report2010-a.pdf

i have been paying attention that yes, the numbers are rising. and good for each and every report.

and thank you for listening to the kid. i knew i was not giving him a fair shake, not listening thru. but, i did not want to do another 6 minutes, though i was curious. as i said, i have two teenage sons already.

good for him, putting it out there and able to get feed back.

nonhitting on you kinda way. lol.

ya, that.
