I'm pretty sure that anyone making a rape threat against anybody on this thread would have been immediately reported and chased from the thread with pitchforks and flaming torches. Misogyny hasn't been tolerated so rape threats certainly won't be.
Aye, we're not the misogynists we're made out to be
So not bothered by it he sends me tweets out of the blue
Aye despite LP maybe he sees you as a new ally, FirkyHe craves your approval (and perhaps believes you have a hot teenage sister).
Aye, look at thriller and his posting history since the infamous AIDS comment.

It's bonkers, man! It is one step away from 4chan
Oh yes. Him.
But then, how many has she done? In my experience talks to large groups do get easier the more you do.
i've got to say, you disseminating someone's speech habits is a bit sad really, get a life before i can't be bothered to carry on with you.
but urbs very own high profile female blogger, who got a lot of real life shit from conspiracy people and documented it here and elsewhere certainly never spoke about what lp describes
5 minutes was enough
I think she's lying. She keeps on using the same grim quote as evidence that any woman who writes on the net will face a wall of misogynist abuse. Now I'm not a women, but Ive had a blog a long time that probably had just as many hits as hers ever had, and I get surprisingly little abuse - although i could point out a few pretty overt threats of violence and present this as the norm if i chose - but its not.
I find it hard to believe that only women bloggers would get the constant stream of abuse she claims to have had. On the other hand political blogging is shamefully male dominated and people like guido ramp up the macho factor, but outside of lp and her circle I just havent heard women bloggers complain about this - above and beyond the misogynist shit that exists in everyday life
if badgerskitten is lurking perhaps she'd comment (guess not)
and the reason this matters is that she gives this as a warning in the first five mins of that speech, that if young women speak out on the internet they will be met with this wall of gender based abuse - I'm more than willing to be proved wrong, but i dont believe thats true, and she is actively putting off young women writers by inventing what seems to be little more than a concept for her latest self-publicity drive and book.
(this is not meant to undermine the sexist shit that is all over the net, just the argument that any women who wants to speak out online will face what lp describes)
