Don’t have much for the blog for today, but I thought I’d point you to an exercise in creating a point-by-point guide on how to be a misandrist over at More ^than Men. It’s pretty much a walkthrough for how to build the gynocracy. MRAs, anti-feminists, and general dudebros are fond of responding to feminists …

DOJ releases new standards to combat prison rape. Right-wingers fight it, MRAs yawn
Via Think Progress: This week, the Department of Justice published new standards addressing the epidemic of rape and sexual abuse in our nation’s prisons. The guidelines, which apply immediately to federal prisons and give financial incentives for states to comply, are a laudable, widely praised, and long overdue step in combating rape in the United …

An unidirectional “conversation” with an MRA on Google+
Wanted to throw this on the blog for a few days now, but it’s been… busy. Over at Google+, it seems the only people who engage with my linking back to various websites are the MRAs and antifeminists who probably make up the majority of the early-adopters of the technology. I had posted a link …

SSA Blogathon – #misandryinvideogames: a response to misogynist trolls (6 of 9)

Dear racist, misogynist, homophobic trolls: THANK YOU!
Clever Pie has crafted what could be the ultimate love song to the most useless and hate-filled parts of the internet. Also known as, “its general populace”. I really hope those of you who get off on this kind of trolling see this video and have a moment of self-reflection. You know, at least long …

Rebecca Watson won’t be at TAM
Working on a secret project, so I don’t have terribly much to say today. So I’ll report on the news and throw in a few quick thoughts. I can’t say I blame Rebecca for deciding not to participate in The Amazing Meeting this year — not because TAM is particularly unsafe for women, but because …

Conventions are workplaces for some people: how to move this conversation forward
Speakers, staff, and even people looking to increase their credibility in a particular field by networking and socializing all have very good reason to consider a convention to be a “workplace environment”. Even if they’re volunteering, even if they’re there only semi-professionally or as a hobbyist, the existence of a solid harassment policy that includes …

Buy the new iPad from XS4ALL to “upgrade” your lover
Tired of your current bed partner? If you buy an iPad from XS4ALL, you’ll be able to switch her it out for some other model! It’s super easy when human beings are simply-manipulated objects! Bra-fucking-vo. Slow clap. Marketing a super-expensive computing toy to men who think the women in their lives are replaceable bed-warmers, because …

“Get your antifemininity out of my feminism”
This essay by s. e. smith is something I honestly wish I could have written myself (but see Comment 1 below), because it’s a point that is rarely raised in fighting against misogynist sentiment and the gender roles that enable it. That point is, eliminating those gender stereotypes does not entail actually eliminating the stereotyped …

The twenty comments in my moderation queue
I want to clear out the twenty comments I have pending moderation — the only twenty comments to hit moderation since I joined Freethought Blogs. These comments came from people who have earned “bans” (which, around here, means they can post but only I see it) for various reasons, and in one major case, from …
