through out our society today, that makes it so different than just the cultural misogyny we have in our society. you can see it on du. it is really prevalent on di. men have organized to go after women with hate. you see it with the attempt of any woman that speaks out in any manner. you see it with the acceptance and cheering of going after celebs nudes. this is what the net has given us. the ability for men to get with like minded and gather supporters. men, that want a time with having a superiority with women. the only area they have now, is this hate since women have gained the freedom and independence to live their lives without control of man.

men cannot control women any other way and they feel they have the innate, biological right.

this whole thread using the p word and reducing women to harpies if they dare to speak out against it as sexist. the ability to shame, humiliate, degrade, threaten to get their way like little two year olds.
