Some silly MRA apparently linked to my blog from his. As a result, crowds of desperate woman-haters have been trying to leave comments on the blog. I simply delete them in bulk without even looking at them but the silly little sexists keep trying.
As a result, the blog has had its greatest number of hits ever. This is great because the more popular a blog is, the higher it is indexed by Google. Then, it’s easier for valuable new readers to find their way here.
So the lesson is: even deluded sexists can serve a useful purpose if handled intelligently. 🙂
Guilty until proven innocent and the limitation of Free Speech. How very progressive of you.

Would you allow people to insult your mother with vile words on your website? Because that’s what these freaks have been trying to do.
Not being able to post garbage on a single blog is hardly a huge impediment on anybody’s freedom of speech. This is my space and I’m under no obligation to make it available to people that disgust me.

Which is it? Did you read them, or did you summarily delete them because of the source?

Free speech does not mean Clarissa has to read, engage with or publish their views. If they are repeatedly being rude and abusive then she’s well within her rights, moral and legal, to blanket ban them. And I say this as fervent defender of free speech rights, and as a commenter who definitely doesn’t always agree with her.

Exactly. I’m not a country. I’m an individual who has the right to choose how to spend her free time. It’s really weird that anybody would try to dispute that.

I summarily delete them because I have no interest to expose myself to any more idiocy today. Do you dispute my right to do so?

Her blog, she can do what she likes. Just as you can do what you like on your own blog.

They call themselves “men’s rights advocates”. All they are is good old male chauvinists, sexists and woman-haters. They believe bad, horrible women trample on their rights all the time. 🙂 Today, I’m one of those bad, horrible women. 🙂
