i spent today researching the use of rape by IS and the ramifications vis a vee the damage to the communities from which the women and boys have been kidnapped and then turned to sex slaves ... some have escaped and interestingly have been accepted gratefully back home ... this is unusual and I think speaks to even in the most conservative communities the atrocities out weigh the shame ... not a lot of the stuff I found out could be used by the journo's today as there is not a lot of context for it as there was also here a round up of young men who allegedly planned to kidnap and behead a random person from the streets of sydney ... they allegedly planned to video it and use it much as the recent be headings from IS ...
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-18/anti-terror-police-mount-large-scale-raids-in-sydney-brisbane/5752002 the thing is the abuse toward the young woman in your link displays exactly the same disconnect I think it is the finest of lines if there are men prepared to express such views anonymously and from the privacy of their keyboard I wonder how far they would go should social norms allow it ... having been in a male dominated industry [ its not quite so bad now - but I am middle aged so who knows] for a long time I could say you end up damned if do and damned if you don't ... and you certainly didn't want to be more technically proficient than the guys unless you were very very attractive ... if you were and you didn't then they said "what she needs is a good f**k " .. I think it is about education and the fact some people are just stupid I can't say there is any Man I know who would behave this way but I have worked with groups of them that do and there is a group on fb that every now and then forget there are also female members and they go quite feral ... and Mugsy will support me that once gender is known online the tone changes and some become very rude and crude towards you .. for the life of me I don't get it ... how the knowledge or the fact that a person is a women makes it an imperative to be cruel either by innuendo or by rape and slavery ..... I guess what I am thinking is sheer level of the input just in the comments of the link - the rudeness, anger , slut shaming [ though i hate that term ] etc actually amounts to gang rape by proxy ... awful On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 10:05 AM, M Christol <[email protected]> wrote: > I think what Cracked has done in their going from magazine to website is > pretty amazing. > There was a comic book editor, Valerie D'Orazio (sp?) who had to put up > with this crap in the comic book world not just online fanbois, but with > editors & managers at Marvel & other comic book companies. > She had an interesting blog that she took down because of the nonsense but > has recently resurrected it, basically, saying, fuck 'em. > The Occasional Heroine or something. > > > On 9/17/14 6:42 PM, Bruce Johnson wrote: > >> 1) Cracked is an amazingly cool site for a "Mad" knockoff :-) >> >> 2) The Zoe Quinn story form her point of view. >> >> <http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-things-i-learned-as- >> internets-most-hated-person/> >> >> I can't imagine how I'd manage to get through that without dropping out >> and going full ninja on these folks. >> >> They're like zombies, "Can't live with 'em, way too many of 'em to shoot >> personally". >> >> >> > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "StrataList-OT" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/stratalist-ot. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
