Online debate, why are women not participating?

henrythelamp:

Tiger Beatdown: Politics and gender imbalance online: women are not participating

redlightpolitics:

Let me tell you this: you are going to be called a cunt. Or, like I was, you are going to be invited to kill yourself because you are a waste of humanity. You are going to be threatened with rape. Your photos, if you happen to be a public figure, are going to be distributed as further proof of your ugliness and in a baffling case of transitive relation, this supposed ugliness is going to be used as proof that your opinion is invalid. If you are queer, your sexuality will be pointed out as a flaw. If you are trans, you will be dehumanized to the point of not being seen as a subject, but as a set of characteristics that third parties are entitled to discuss and speculate about. If you are single, your singledom will be nothing but an affirmation of your character deficiencies. If you are a mother, single or not, you are, of course, nothing but a self serving breeder who should not have public opinions about anything because both you, and your child, are a nuisance. If you are a minority (i.e. not White), your ethnicity will be generalized and used as a stereotype to qualify your opinion. And you will always be a slut and a bitch. Because online, we are all hypersexualized bitches who should just know their places and shut up.

In which I wrote many words to discuss why women are not participating in online political discussions.

Interesant.

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ARTICLE AND ALL YOU LADY BLOGGERS NEED TO READ IT!

This is an all too familiar reaction to any comment left by a female on almost any website, so I know you all know what I’m talking about.
