UnFarkingReal
Katie Lee posted her fave women’s sites and mentioned the rampant misogyny at sites like Fark. Now, Farkers are behaving like extremist Islamists who bomb embassies and threaten everyone with beheading when someone says, ‘You guys are just a bit too reactionary and violent’ by posting endless streams of unfunny anti-women comments and threats aimed at Katie. Dumb, dumb boys. More at the FWord.












It’s horrible, but it seems like one of those sites where young men get to indulge in épater les bourgeois shocking nihilism.
It’s also online bullying because it creates a climate of intolerance to female posters, no-matter how much the men think they’re just fooling about.
Pretty much indefensible really, but I note there were some posters who were not joining in.
