The comments aren't the usual "ermergerd, mererns!" dross, either.
Misogny and hate, alive and well on the net.

Think I might ask my daughter to read that article
It's stuff she needs to know. She's twelve.
If someone were to start pulling that kind of stuff on her (or various other women I know) I don't think I'd try the legal route to deal with it. From what I can see, the Justice SystemTM has neither the tools nor the inclination to actually deal with these people in any meaningful way. |

Meanwhile.. Liberty-tarian-tards imagine a world
free.. Free.. FREE! --of All Rules/Restrictions/Consequences of one's Actions on Anything:
--as their Nirvana. I'll send my note, in time to EFF as well: a claustrophobically-narrow view of their er, Mandate is NOT what I send them $$ to purvey. That 'view' is what we used to compare with racehorses, "with blinders on"--so they won't be distracted from Winning all those $$. And if the Web/indeed! mirrors the [local: anywhere] kultur du jour--as stats accumulate in each country/region: (and I throw in my own assorted Experience, decade-by-decade) YESS, indeed: bald-faced misogyny has been On The Rise--especially since the Retrograde-in-all-things Cheney Shogunate hit-the-World-Fan. How do you un-DO a massively unCivil GENERATION?? Can We just.. wait for it to die-out? [I no answers. Either.] We are apt to Stay-Fucked until {{The End}} ... history tells us. As friend-P. reminds w/ her sign-off: "I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another and I know there are people in the world that do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that." --Tom Lehrer We're all walking/massive-Contradictions: Is that any kind of species you'd want ... to Prevail? |
