HCR has always been a very good person to me. Like really good. I'm not aware of everything that happens on this site, but that is my testament from my own experience.

Thank you for everything ❤️. At this point the misogyny is so extreme, if I a man calls it out, I'd like to talk to him. There are liberal men out there who are normalizing it

I feel like it deserved correction, but I wouldn't condemn him personally for it. That's just me.

I'm fine. Irritated that some people are normalizing this. Also irritated that women younger and more vulnerable than I am are being targeted. Otherwise, I'm fine. But thank you for asking!

Also the graphic makes no sense and in the age of AI I would expect some standardization of vowel spaces.

Oh great, now we're on to the threats of hanging. Everyone who normalized this will be remembered. There are women much more vulnerable than I am who are being subjected to this.

Mr. Silverman is correct that this is a common rhetorical tactic. I think I am also correct that the tactic can solidify harmful stereotypes in certain cases. Which isn't an attack on him. Maybe we can discuss it. Again, I meant it when I said I appreciated his comment. bsky.app/profile/dmsi...

1) I hate my typo here, lol 2) I really didn't mean to go hard on @dmsilverman.bsky.social. I did appreciate his defense 3) I think I might have misunderstood his rhetorical purpose. I'll have to look at it again. 4) I hope we can have a good convo about this or just forget about it

I would argue it's re-enforcing of the stereotypes I'm trying to fight against. I think maybe some things got lost, due to social media dynamics. I do hear what you're saying.

I meant it when I said I was genuinely appreciative. I really was. And continue to be so. I wanted to post my comment as a reply, rather than a QT, but the platform wasn't letting me. I think my comment is legitimate. I think your response is, too.

They have called Alice Poole an "It." The deepest form of dehumanization. As they do with me, they also call her "mentally ill" for reporting their bullying. Because Shannon Watts called out their tactics, they have barraged her with "zionist cunt." Pick your side. bsky.app/profile/magd...

I’m tired of seeing the racism and antisemitism from the far left of the Democratic Party. If NY wasn’t a close primary state, I probably would be unaffiliated. It’s so toxic and draining. Thank you @magdi.bsky.social for always calling them out👏🏾 x.com/magi_jay/sta...

More liberal women are being targeted for harassment. A common tactic is to refer to "mental illness." Those who attempt to stand up against this mass misogyny are then further accused of mental illness. In my case, they also invoke antisemitism. In Alice Poole's case, they invoke transphobia.

Men are out of control on the internet. It's happening. And you choose to be against sexism or you can choose to enforce it. I'm not sure what else to say. A lot of you guys are a part of a problem. Choose the right side. It's not hard.

Thank you for saying this. And I mean it sincerely. But I also want to say that when one prefaces the defense with the "most annoying cingelibs in the known universe," you might be contributing a bit to the problem.

There is a long history of the patriarchy using mental illness to silence women. From “hysteria” to “shrill”or today’s “scold” - they are all sexist and misogynistic. www.thecrimson.com/column/femme...

One of many reasons why it pisses me off when people on here say Dems shouldn’t criticize Piker. Piker & his fans have engaged in toxic & misogynistic abuse toward Magdi, Shannon, Neera Tanden, & other women for months. If you support Piker, you support his misogyny, antisemitism, & racism.

And, yes, calling a woman "mentally ill" for describing internet harassment is not only deeply unethical (and illiberal), but also verges on defamation.

I strongly condemn this harassment of Magdi and Shannon from the haters and Hasaniks. They're two very important people that I value in my life and both are good, honest and trustworthy folk that deserve support and respect. Thank you!

I've laid out all the evidence. My position is essentially unassailable. People with actual principles should stand up against this.

At the end of the day, @liberalcurrents.com is mainstreaming extremely illiberal tactics through a "liberal" lens. This is wrong. My brain is not "microwaved" b/c I told the truth about antisemitic and misogynistic abuse. They need to issue a correction. Now.

I wrote to the editors of @liberalcurrents.com. I have received no response. I can only assume, at this point, that they do not want women to have the capacity to stand up for themselves online. If we do so, we will be called "mentally ill." Or subject to other antisemitic and misogynistic attacks.

Anyone who speaks out about this, gets targeted for harassment. Over half of them are being taken care of by their parents. They don't know shit about politics and all they know are social media slogans and rants that the Tennessee Holler abd others push.

1) A screenshot from the @liberalcurrents.com article 2) A screenshot from their hyperlink. The hyperlink they used to 1) make a false claim, claiming I asserted something I never asserted and 2) asserting that I have "mental illness" because I described antisemitic & misogynistic harassment.

This bullying is coming from Hasan Piker. He directed his audience to harass Ms. Watts and myself, among others. @liberalcurrents.com published an article, earlier this week, that described me as having a "[microwaved] brain" b/c I described this abuse. They normalized the abuse. Now it escalates.

It's crazy. It all started because I said Hasan Piker was a liability for Abdul El-Sayed, whom I said I would support if I lived in Michigan. He's a fragile narcissist.

So I don't know who the harasser is but I'm gonna guess it's a dude. Funny how these folks so easily use misogyny, antisemitism, ableism, etc. as a weapon. The mental health slams are particularly offensive. And using the R word. Wow. None of that is leftist.
