The only reason guys are "persecuted" for liking mlp is because it's seen as girly and girly things are bad. Don't loose sight of the bigger picture and how this shit is connected.
Sweden doesn't get nearly so much flak for blurring gender roles, it's much bigger than that. The fandom had strange starts, was rifled with wolves in the herd, sheep that acted like wolves in the herd, genuinely disgusting things were done within the fandom and it was propelled to infamy, to such an extent where reviling bronies became as much a movement as labeling yourself as one.
Looks more like a meaningless attempt to gain a one up.
Language works best as expressions than points and high scores.
So snide comments about him being a self-hating man. You aren't really disproving anything I've said. I never argued that men were entirely free from online abuse, much less that feminist men were.
-but rather overt and sexually abusive. What exactly was that again?
That was not even the peak of the iceberg of overt and sexually abusive.
Actually my original point was that women in general suffer more of a sexist and threatening backlash for being outspoken on issues than men were. I did however get caught up in one particular example that seems to garner the most attention.
And I already told you that I'm not entertaining your hyperskepticism. If you don't think there's sufficient evidence in those three links then I'm not really eager to continue arguing with you.
You haven't shown enthusiasm at arguing at all really.
You have blinders on if you don't see the two as related. The threats against Anita are no less real than those against Amina, but rather have less ability to be carried out. You're throwing up an arbitrary distinction between the two when systematic problems are the cause of both.
The arbitrary distinction is called 'intent.'
People have literally been using sites which are famous for porn and making flash games about beating up celebrities as examples of patriarchy and Anita being right. Essentially, when you take the massive indirected hate that has become common courtesy on the internet and you make it about feminism, you are ignoring the cause.
And what cause it that? Random bitter teenage assholes who make violent video games over celebrity rage? Anita got her own little hate game in response to her speaking on issues, not because of the general mindless hatred of the internet mob. You act as though the harassment itself had no actual motivation beyond the lulz.
