The chilling effect of misogynistic trolls

 http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-chilling-effect-of-misogynistic-trolls

Quote
In the same way that street harassment claims public spaces as somehow belonging to men, so online harassment of this explicitly gendered variety undermines the freedom of expression on the web by attempting to forcibly exclude communities and individuals belonging to those communities from participating.

It's a silencing tactic, and it's powerful. All too often, people suggest that victims of this kind of trolling should just ignore it; delete the comments, block the accounts, forget it ever happened. But that places the onus of policing this behaviour on the victim while giving repeat offenders carte blanche to spam targets faster than they have chance to respond, and undermines the real disruption this behaviour can cause.

The "ignore it" strategy essentially tells women to just shut up—which is exactly the underlying attitude of their attackers, and the cause of the problem in the first place.

This week has, however, seen a notable attempt to really tackle the issue. Web community fark.com took the no-nonsense approach of officially banning misogyny from their comments, though how successful it will be at enforcing the rule remains to be seen.

Of course, the move saw a predictable outcry from some parts: the same people who limit discussion by stampeding over dissenting voices are the first to cry foul when they feel that their freedom of speech—their freedom to bully and insult—is threatened.


The rest is at the link and well worth reading. DU isn't the only community dealing with this problem.

Yeah, but the admins of this forum have been chillingly silent with regards to tackling the issue here.

36. I keep waiting for the proverbial ax to fall,

or the pizza to arrive, since I've routinely taken issue with the fact that Skinner, et al., apparently avoid taking a stand regarding misogyny and sexism on DU.

It's most disappointing.

(I am saddened by redqueen's decision to leave. I can certainly understand it, though.)

if memory serves me, the one instance that Skinner took a stand regarding racism on DU, he chastised a Black woman for calling someone a racist after they posted a clearly racist thread ... and he did it in the African-American Group!

57. I've been doing some reading and re reading here and see that

feminists are supposed to 'teach' the sexist, to 'be nice' about it tho. Do racist and homophobes have to be taught in that same way or are there different rules? Seems to be different rules, as I see it.

MODUS OPERANDI: Demand the world conform to your singular view of reality. When the world doesn't agree claim the world is sexist/racist/homophobic and demand the powers that be eliminate the dissenters. When the powers that be do not eliminate the dissenters claim the powers that be are sexist/racist/homophobic. Live a miserable life and accomplish nothing.

They want sexism to be as great a force as racism. The reason? Hillary. Klams want her to be above all criticism or scrutiny.

I'm betting they will invade every forum in the next two years to force this upon the rest of us. It is their unholy mission. expect it. or rather lay in wait for it. It could be fun.

It's not just men who hate the feminazis.  As a female, they are my most disliked liberal group.

You know, sir, yesterday, Friday, I was wondering what to do about this issue.

It's big and it's complicated, too much copying-and-pasting involved, from many long threads.

Anyway, for those who might, or might not, know, one of the "back-stories" (there's several) on this is that the other day, BainsBane posted a very long and detailed "test" so that the primitives could discern if they're anti-women; a purity test of sorts.

Our friend Laelth then answered the purity test, coming up with a reasonably high-score; apparenly he's pretty pro-women.

Which he posted as an original topic.

After which all Hell broke loose, and our friend Laelth's thread was ultimately locked, apparently because he offended BainsBane, who has Skins wrapped around her little finger.

On that locked thread, there evolved a long loud raucous argument between our friend Atman and the she-women thugs, notably BainsBane, the seabeyond bitch, and the Bostonian beanie; the redqueen primitive had just departed, her panties in a wad, and so wasn't there.

If one recalls, it was BainsBane, the seabeyond bitch, the redqueen primitive, and the Bostonian beanie, who'd gotten our friend Atman banned from the womens'-libber forums simply because he was being jocular, humorous, about something.

A banning about which our friend Atman seems to still resent, very much.  And with good reason.

Our friend Atman's reasoned, calm, dispassionate comments about being banned, like the earlier ones of our friend Laelth's, were out-screeched by the rabid banshees.

It's an unfortunate situation; Laelth and Atman need to understand there's no point in it.  Being members of the male race, they have no chance, no chance at all, no matter what they say or what they do, to placate the militant she-women.  They might as well not even try.

There are now quite a few threads about "misogyny" burning brightly in the distant night.

The Klams don't even know what they are fighting for. All they know is the word gives them power over others and they won't let it slip from their spindly, gnarled fingers.

I still don't know what they're whining about.

The she-women on Skins's island get their way 99.9% of the time.

There's no other group on Skins's island--not the gays, not the blacks, not the terrorist sympathizers, not the anti-gun nuts, not the 0bamaites--who get their way anything near 99.9% of the time; if they get their way half the time, they're doing good.

This reminds me of the time I was forced to argue with a female debt collector about some erroneous medical bill.  I got tire of dealing with her so I said, "You know, I have a personal policy -- I do not discuss business with women -- is there a man there I can talk to?"

She had to have a DU name.  I'd never heard such language coming out of a sane lady.

Yeah, he needs to ban them, all of them.

BainsBane, the seabeyond bitch, the redqueen primitive, and the Bostonian beanie have had their way, way too long; they've dominated Skins's island, overshadowing different concerns and issues of the other primitives.

Women's rights are important, yes, but it's not as if women's rights are the only important things.

What's worse, they're boring. Not an ounce of entertainment value in the entire bunch.

They are every bit as boring as the militant queers who swarmed the DUmp a few years ago, before disappearing in the great midnight slaughter.

Yeah, that too.

They've been about as interesting, as colorful, as watching a discussion between a Trotskyite socialist and a revolutionary socialist, which makes watching paint dry look interesting.

However, because of their overwhelming malevolent influence on Skins's island this past year, I intend to nominate the women's-libbers, in the Top DUmmies of 2014, for the "group" award.

Don't anybody make any mistake about it.

The ultimate goal of the womens'-libber primitives on Skins's island is nothing less than the total liquidation of men, all men.  They think it'd be heaven on earth, a world without men.

And the primitives of the male gender need to understand; changing their behavior so as think like women, act like women, be like women, won't save them.  Simply because they've got that certain appendage down there, they're never going to please the women's-libbers on Skins's island.

They'll go down just like the rest of us.

It's war, a war on men, and given the wide influence and vast wealth of the anti-men movement, it's not necessarily a war men will win.  It's a fight to the death, against the rabid screeching she-women.

Considering that their definition of "Misogynistic" is anything short of "Total unquestioning submission to the DU Skank Mafia's Dictate of the Hour," the thread is really a demonstration of "The chilling effect of passive-aggressive feminazi dominatrix thought police on discussion boards."

I know how he knows what I look like, but I won't disclose that publicly for safety reasons. As for Redqueen, I have no idea. I've never seen a picture of her myself.

Jugs must not be keeping up with the secret forum, otherwise she'd know that DUmmy redqueen is the best-looking member of the Ku Klux Klams, despite the fact she's a certifiable lunatic.
