      God, the justification going on here. I have disengaged & muted. I don't actually care much if ppl call me names & tell me to fuck myself. 1

      My self-esteem isn't bound up in whether internet ideologues think me fat, ugly, a slut, a frustrated virgin, feminazi, misogynist. 2

      What worries me is the justification going on among people who consider themselves highly moral & acting on behalf of an essential cause.

      Someone who I'm fairly sure wld claim online abuse of feminists to be deeply damaging can justify verbally abusing me for my views on gender

      She called it 'challenging misogyny' to yell abuse at someone posting a perfectly reasonable & moderate article about gender differences.

      I don't care about being sworn at, ffs. I care about what is happening in heads like this & how we can ever restore balance to them.

          Well, with more essays like the brilliant one you wrote, the defenders of modernity will prevail, I am convinced.

          The belligerent and illiberal left feel entitled due to their "moral superiority." They even argue they are entitled to violence.

          I say call them out to their faces in polite but blunt terms. The 500 rule may apply -- if they are told off 500 times they may just listen.

          It does indeed. Aside from getting better at prevention, I’m not sure much can be done to help those afflicted.

          I find that people who feel inadequate tend to try and "take down" people who don't. How they "take down" is what concerns me.

          Ppl can't think of a non-sexist interpretation of something (bc they won't go anywhere near the evidence) & assume there is none.

          It's Dunning-Kruger meets self-righteous indignation. Confusing the limits of your imagination w reality, perceiving dissent as malevolent.

          French proverb: What we don't understand, we blame. When we can't think of a non-evil interpretation, we see evil thx to confirmation bias.
