But 4chan isn't a site deliberately set up to 'name and shame', nor does it redefine the scope of rape to include sexual harrassment, which is not the same thing. If a site is set up to name and shame rapists, it needs to have some weight to back it up otherwise it'll be crushed in libel suits, not to mention that it'll be abused as a tool to destroy people's lives, both men and women.
> Part of the point is imagining what the world would look like if women stopped holding themselves to a higher standard than men do.
I wasn't aware that women were holding themselves to a higher standard than men. I wasn't aware that anyone was holding themselves to any standard at all. Please, do tell me what this standard is that women hold them to that is so much higher than the one men hold themselves to. If you could point me to a copy of the male standard I'd love to see it, so that I can make sure that I meet it.
> I find it funny that some men seem terrified by the idea: now you know how we feel all the time
As for some men seeming terrified by the idea, I honestly can't say (as unlike you, I can't claim to speak for all, or indeed some my gender on this matter). I can say that I'm not terrified by the idea, I just think that as the author proposed it, it's a terrible idea. I will ask my wife if she feels terrified all the time, but I think aside from occasional concerns about spiders (and to be fair the spiders have more to fear than her) the answer will be no.
