Will The Interent Ever Be Safe For Women? Yawn.

Another article by a women, for women, and this constitutes journalism for female reporters. Pay attention to how she defines safe - validating female choices is safe, disagreeing with female choices is threatening:

The editors of the feminist blog Jezebel had to publicly call out their employers at Gawker Media for refusing to permanently ban commenters who spammed the site with animated images of rape and sexual assault. The popular web forum Fark.com felt it necessary to add “misogyny” to the moderator guidelines in order to combat the presence of rape jokes, as well as slut-shaming and victim-blaming language. Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda was forced to leave Twitter after receiving waves of harassment following the death of her father. . . .
​

Women want to be free to be sluts but they don't want to be held accountable for their choice. Women want to be free to drink in public until they are zonkered and then when they claim regret rape they don't want to be held accountable for getting drunk in public.

Zelda Williams wasn't attacked because she was a woman, weirdos were attacking her deceased father, so the more honest reading, using the same analytic framework, is that Twitter users hate men.

While this data might lead one to believe that women are only marginally more affected by Internet harassment than men, Amanda Hess at Pacific Standard puts a more qualitative face on this quantitative data. Nearly three-quarters of people who report harassment to the organization Working to Halt Online Abuse, she notes, are women.
​

Why is it surprising that it is women who are the most frequent complainers about abuse? Look at how they define abuse - they feel that they're being abused when people hold them accountable for their actions.

If it seems like all we can do is hack at the branches of this problem rather than its roots, maybe it’s because we’re too focused on the people who use technologies rather than the technologies themselves. In other words, if we accept sexism as the more or less inevitable feature of our social world that it seems to be, efforts to combat Internet harassment would more properly be aimed at publishing platforms and social media services themselves rather than their users.
​

There is no problem here other than women's discomfort with being held to account for their actions, choices, arguments, statements. Safe space apparently means a space where everyone validates female choices.

The article goes on and on with this victim mentality, then shifts into racism accusations because Twitter has too many white men working there.

Female journalism is brain-dead. It's a damn echo-chamber. Disgusting. And women wonder why they have a glass ceiling problem. Just go out and do your job competently, which doesn't mean navel gazing at "women's problems."
