Well, the title here is "That's how it works when you're a woman on the internet" - but then she goes on to give example after example of times when she deliberately went out and picked a fight (with, in fairness, people who deserved to be stood up to). A man could and would get the same level of vitriol aimed at him for similarly provocative posting.
- magneticnorth 5y agoI missed the examples where she went out and picked a fight - the closest I'm seeing is a tweet where she talks about agreeing with a guy who called her good-looking at the gym. Can you be more specific about the "example after example" where you expect men would get similar levels of vitriol?

- kritiko 5y agoIf you're going to blame the victim, at least read TFA: "the founder of the far-right neo-nazi group the Proud Boys had done a whole episode of his YouTube series about a comic I’d made."
- giantg2 5y agoI did read the article. I mistook the part about the other guest seeing the YouTube video as her doing a podcast. My bad.
- magneticnorth 5y agoShe didn't interact with him in any way - he made a long youtube video in response to one of her comics: "the founder of the far-right neo-nazi group the Proud Boys had done a whole episode of his YouTube series about a comic I’d made." His video got a lot of attention, but she was not in it, nor did she ever interview him as far as I can tell from the article.
- masonic 5y agoShe did label specific respondents "Nazis" and "incels" without any indication that she actually knew anything about the individuals being labeled... which mirrors the exact behavior she complains about.

- giantg2 5y agoYeah, I thought the same thing. The only difference are the specific insults. For example, no one is calling her an incel (as an insult, not the actual group), but it's likely a man would be called that. I wonder if her use of the term incel was legitimate or an insult.

- ENOTTY 5y agoPutting her last name on her Twitter profile and the pronouns by which she'd like others to address her is picking a fight? By your logic, the only people not picking a fight are those who live in a self-contained box and make no impact in the world. I suppose that is your point; that someone like her has no right to interact with the world.

- magneticnorth 5y agoDid she have members of hate groups on her podcast? The article discusses the proud boy leader making a long youtube video in response to one of her comics, but as far as I can tell she has never interacted with the proud boys.
- giantg2 5y agoI mistook the part about the other guest seeing the YouTube video as her doing a podcast. My bad.
- detaro 5y ago> If you have a podcast with high profile members of hate groups Could you please point to that podcast of hers you claim is the reason?

- mrpf1ster 5y agoI disagree, I don’t think a man would get nearly as much hate for expressing an opinion on the internet. Particularly from the “incel” crowd as they hate women specifically.
- Miner49er 5y agoMaybe I missed it, but where did she pick a fight?
- commandlinefan 5y agoAssuming you're being serious here: tweeting about the time she put a cocky man in his place is deliberately (and, maybe, justifiably) antagonistic. Kicking hornet's nests and finding hornets isn't a "being a woman" thing, it's a kicking a hornet's nest thing.
- zozbot234 5y agoShe didn't even "put him in his place", it was his choice to be annoyed about it. If he were actually intending to compliment her, he might've found her reply humorous, but not annoying.

- mcphage 5y ago> tweeting about the time she put a cocky man in his place is deliberately (and, maybe, justifiably) antagonistic Are you referring to the bit where a man told her something and she agreed with him? That's what you are calling deliberately antagonistic?
- mocheeze 5y agoAnd she was even polite enough to let him interrupt her, yet she still agreed. Did she owe that man something more than what she already accommodated him with? I wonder how nice some of the people here standing up for that guy say when a homeless person interrupts their day?

- culi 5y agoSomehow I doubt you'd ever get death threats from tweeting about being annoyed that someone interrupted your work out to tell you you're pretty
- insickness 5y agoIf an attractive guy posted that someone came up to him in the gym and told him he was hot and he said, "I know," he may get the same amount of vitriol.
- culi 5y agoDeath threats? People saying that they're what's wrong with this country? You genuinely think he'd get that?
- stjohnswarts 5y agoIf that gets pushed to 4chan which primarily a wasteland populated by white supremacists, bigots, racists, and misogynists your chances of being harassed and being attacked go through the roof especially if you use your real name on the internet.
