Internet Comments: Anonymous Misogyny *TRIGGER WARNING*

I know this topic has been written about again and again and again, but I repeat: I am utterly disgusted by the way in which internet forums suddenly become the place for men *TRIGGER WARNING*

*

to throw around rape “jokes” and rape threats like water and then threaten any poster who complains, even before they identify as female, as the usual “cunt” “whore” “feminist bitch” “sweetcakes” ect. ect.

I followed this link to the article about making the third Twilight film more “guy-friendly”, i.e. more gore, and was totally blind-sided that a tiny, one page, four paragraph, (really two paragraphs and two long quotations) led to a long string of absolutely vitriolic, hateful poison. It only took seven comments in to become a series of rape “jokes”. After the initial hilarious comment **TRIGGER WARNING (for the rest of the post)**

**TRIGGER WARNING FOR ALL THESE COMMENTS, THEY ARE SICK**

{“What would you gents be willing to do to have a go with Ashley Greene?”

Id be willing to throw her in the trunk of my car, take her to my buddy Tonkas house and gang rape her for 2-3 hours, then we’d probably roll her up in the rug and throw her in the river.

I’ve always been a hopeless romantic like that though..}

several responses indicated the utter approval other readers had for this plan of action.

{HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I SWEAR THAT THE WATER I WAS DRINKING CAME OUT OF MY NOSE!!!}

{Buddy, two on one isn’t a gang, and 2-3 hours isn’t a rape. You really aren’t thinking big enough. Wait for the Superbowl, and use her for an after game party favor. }

When one person finally posted that actually, gang-rape and murder *wasn’t* that funny, the original guy and all his buddies ganged up on this poster with a series of totally hilarious rape threats, all while patting themselves on the back. Here’s a few gems out of the 181 (so far) comments made:

{ don’t you have someplace else to go to whine? Note – when your Father was inside of you calling you Princess… he only did that to keep you quiet. He didn’t mean for you to gather your words would mean anything to anyone else out in the real world (meaning: off your mattress}

{You know what’ll cure that frustration Sweetcakes?}

{No one gives a shit about your feminism. No one cares about your drive for recognition, your proud lesbianism, or all the other shit you think makes you an advanced form of woman. Go lick a twat instead.}

{Hardly any of the young women I know(my fiancée included) can cook. If I want a good home cooked meal I have to make it. That shit pisses me off, women should have to take three college level classes to learn how to fucking cook. I watch “Mad Men” every week and I am fucking envious as shit!}

{You’re not much more than an orgasm sandwiched between two headaches.}

{Go suck your Dad’s dick. It’s allowance day and time for you to go pay your rent Bitch!}

{Do you feel bad of the control your Dad took from you when he over-powered and penetrated you? Don’t you feel even worse that you liked it?}

Again, I know that this type of commenting has already been talked about again and again, but it’s so prevalent everywhere!! How can anyone read comments anymore when s**t like this is just lying in wait?! I was planning to go to bed before I read this, but I am so angry I had to rant to this community forum. Everywhere is unsafe, even/especially the internet.
