Nagel Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Scientists have discovered that sexist men who harass women online are quite literally losers. Not news to some of us that bullies are inadequate specimens that feel bad about themselves, but an interesting read none the less; wish this report had been out when the 'Is it Ok to wolf whistle at women in the street?' idiocy was in full flow. Read it here - http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/07/20/men-who-harass-women-online-are-quite-literally-losers-new-study-finds/?tid=sm_fb If you read Spiked you would have known this last year. Here's just one article of a few they published on the subject at the height of the twitter troll moral panic of 2014 - http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/trolls_are_not_normal_guys/14437 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeh Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Surely Mr Halibut you have to be labelled the same. You trawl this forum 24/7 then have nothing but contempt for anyone that disagrees with you. LOSER :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafya Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It is a tiny minority of neanderthal white Brits that harass women these days whereas the suppression of women is ingrained in the Roma and Asian communities in this country. It may not always be displayed overtly in the Asian community but its there and its insidious. my bold= What a load of tosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeh Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Anyone who feels the need to harass someone else is a loser, gender has nothing to do with it. Good point and i totally agree with it. This Halibut character comes across as one of these fake male feminists trying to be popular with the ladies. Good for him i say but the sooner feminists a done away with the sooner we can all get on with being humanists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Typical hate thread from the OP. Rather than picking on these people and calling them losers and Neanderthals wouldn't it be kinder and more empathetic to sympathise with their lack of esteem and help them find value in themselves?

Timeh Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 What, you think women being sexually harassed is funny, or you think men that denigrate women have really got their stuff together? ---------- Post added 21-07-2015 at 22:24 ---------- Most of the Pakistani and Roma women I know are doing Ok, thanks for your concern. Men acting like dicks aren't confined to any particular ethnicity or cultural context though. Most of the total tossers of men I've had the misfortune to come across have been white Brits, but arguably that's because most of the men I know or have ever met have been white Brits. Interesting that you ask that question though; perhaps you're looking for someone to blame, maybe you don't feel too good about yourself? Dicks, tossers, you need to either stop drinking or come out of the closest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well, well, well. No 'fake male' feminism here. Plenty of sexually and socially insecure white boys around though, bless 'em. ---------- Post added 21-07-2015 at 23:49 ---------- Typical hate thread from the OP. That might be funny Jonny, were it not so sad. Who would describe a thread intended to disparage and decry males who abuse and humiliate women as a 'hate thread'? You just did. Rather than picking on these people and calling them losers and Neanderthals wouldn't it be kinder and more empathetic to sympathise with their lack of esteem and help them find value in themselves? Why not just launch straight into the apologising for rapists bit and spare us the tedious foreplay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
