Robert,
Do you think women are amazingly moral creatures who suddenly appeared on the planet?

If so, you are yet another victim of feminist brainwashing.

Women are no more moral than men, and so-called patriarchy was mostly developed to stop women wandering off with the next man who came along and had more money, and to stop women killing their babies if they felt like it at that particular point in time.

My last post on OLO.

Goodbye, and as a man, enjoy your feminist future earning money and handing it over to a woman somewhere.

Could this really be the end of vanna? If I'd have known it was so easy...

I like the 'attitudes to women' ones the best r0bert. The technique is you subtly move from rapists and abusive men, to 'predatory' men, to men who like hardcore porn, to men who like rough sex, to men who even fantasise about rough sex, to men who like to see naked woman, to men who are attracted to beautiful women, to basically all heterosexual men!

I love the 'link' here from some French philosoper from mid last century. Random!

'It seems that not only have the ideas of women been lost, but so has an awareness of the social forces which have worked so hard to keep them buried.'

ie. We need to keep bringing up the past so feminism remains relevant, and we should twist each instance of any woman being abused as being all about gender, add to the grand historical narrative of woe, and assign motives to men accordingly.

'we need to locate #mencallmethings, in a historical continuum of the silencing and oppression of women's voices and viewpoints. '

No we don't actually.

Dare I suggest women show some balls and refuse to be silenced like many men have who got their voices heard in the past, even men threatened with actual death rather than nasty words, and fighting for more weighty aims like slavery and such. This anonymous verbal abuse in response to deliberately divisive social commentary for advertising revenue IS just the internet! An anonymous graffiti board of the bored masses. It's not gender related, hell it's not even personal. It's noise.

There's no doubt about it, if all you have is a hammer...

Houellebecq, sorry somewhat preoccupied with other stuff at the moment.

Agreed re the attitudes to women theme's.
The blurring of definitions seems to be a common theme as are circular proof's which never seem to get back to a stand alone case but always draw on something else in the same chain to make the case.

Whilst I disagree with significant aspects of the authors case there are clearly times when sexist abuse is used to try and shut people up.

If it's as reported that was a very ugly response.

Thanks for this article. I feel so troubled by the hate-speech creeping (marching? driving a racing car?) into acceptable discourse. I've just read an expletive-filled rant in of all things The Age newspaper! Thank you for this reasonable contribution to a public discussion we need to have.
