And the fact that, by all accounts, none of the 57 young men in that group chat had the elemental human decency to speak up is an indictment of them, their parents, and a culture that has allowed the young men in our collective care to devolve into such mindless barbarism.

If there'd been just one man in that room or that chat who’d been raised to believe in consent, who’d been taught to see women as equals, who’d been told by their fathers how good men speak when no one else will, it would all have been different for her... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/cornells-j...

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.
