Twitter hashtag of the day: #MenCallMeThings, a catalogue of horrendous misogynist shit sent to women online
Twitter hashtag of the day: #mencallmethings, in which Women With Opinions on the Internet report some of the creepy, violent, threatening, misogynist things said to them in comments and emails by dudes on the Internet. GIANT TRIGGER WARNING for: “whore,” “slut,” “cunt,” “fat cunt,” “ugly cunt,” “cunt bucket,” “cum dumpster,” “lesbian hambeast” (huh?), assorted threats of rape and murder — the list goes on, and on, and on. I would post the, er, “highlights,” but, really, just go and look at it. This shit is relentless.

The only real point I’ve gotten out of anything Brandon has posted is there’s not a single problem anyone could have that can’t solved by being Brandon, or as much like Brandon as you can be.
We, obviously, aren’t as smart as Brandon, and so aren’t able to truly comprehend the wonder of The Intent.
@Ozy: I am going to assume you posted naked pictures of yourself based on the responses you provided (a commenter mentioning “shave that thatch”).
You are free to do whatever you like. However, I don’t think it is insane to say “if you post naked pictures of yourself on the internet…you are going to get some negative commentary about it”
If you don’t want to hear all the negative crap sent to you, then don’t put yourself in that position.
Also, I hardly see how people criticizing (although harshly) the pictures you post is inherently sexist. Sure, it’s a dick move and I certainly wouldn’t comment on it, but all you are getting is people stating their opinion about your photos (which you placed into the public sphere intentionally).

I’m going to assume she posted them for the reasons she mentioned in that post, because she felt like it.
Just as I assume you mean the things you say (much as that seems to pain you).
