The reason it's called feminism is because it was started by women, not because the movement is anti-men. I can see how some people (even women) are put off by its name and try to distance themselves from it because of the negative connotation it has. It's actually quite simple, if someone believes women should have the same rights as men and want to advocate for those rights, they're feminist. On the other hand there's hateful people who actually believe that women are inherently superior and men should be punished for their evil existence, and that is certainly NOT what feminism is about.

See my post where I talked about boys being further behind in English than girls are in science and math, despite reading and writing being the basis of education, and feminist groups not caring.  If a car has two flat tires, you don't make it work by only changing one of them.  That's not how you reach equality.  Pretending that only one side matters will get us nowhere.  It's short-sighted and ultimately results in more problems.

But you're arguing about something completely different than I am. I never talked about "man-hating/misandry". My point was very specific. Why fight cyeberbullying against women when it happens to men too? Such women may not be man haters, but they sure only care about their own gender. A fight should be against cyberbullying period. When you make it specifically about women, you've lost all support from me.

A fight should be about equal rights. LGBTQ people fight for marriage equality. I would never support a gay movement that wanted to change the law to punish companies harder if the boss calls one a gay slur. It should be a fight against verbal abuse in general.

You don't think it's possible there are some idiots who have sent her death threats?

I like gaming, I've been gaming since 1989 for crying out loud, but I don't feel I need to "defend" all gamers. Some gamers are idiots. Some are dorks. It can be a bad combination sometimes. That's just how it goes. I personally never do voice chat in games for example anymore unless it's with friends. Too many freaking morons. 

Prove it.  That's the problem, you accept her account without question, then you go on to accuse Gamergate of false flagging a gathering of individuals just socializing, or a place where they're actually discussing the issues like adults, without evidence.  The only difference is, both Koretzky and GG begged, literally begged these people to attend (some offered to pay their way, and/or donate 10K to a charity of their choosing), so it could be discussed, but they refused.  That's not GG's fault, nor GG's problem.  That's their problem.

As I said, you're allowing your own pre-conceived biases to infect this.  Clearly, you're incapable of discussing this, though I'm surprised you took it this far.  That's further than Anita, Wu or Quinn will.  Even the slightest hint of questioning the 'Listen and Believe' mantra, and they block any further attempts at discussion.

Here we go again >.

I don't get it. Some of these people are among the worst hatemongers in the industry. Yet they're fighting harassment?

I'm convinced some of the things Anita does are just to get attention from people who don't know any better.

Well it might seem like it's selfish but then again, where's the men raising concern and taking action against such issue. I'm sure there's plenty of men being harassed online, why don't we all join and do something about it? Maybe we don't care or we don't think it's such a big deal, there must be a reason for it. And that's probably why these women aren't mentioning men in their online harassment speech.

Just because it's not affecting you it doesn't mean it's not real.

And her saying 'gun shootings' is due to 'toxic masculinity' isn't harassment of men? Being disagreed with on the internet isn't harassment, you can suck mah dick google
