Pissing off White Men Again

Ooh, look at me there in that picture, being all featured etc. I took the most personal bits of my review of Winnie M Li’s Dark Chapter and turned them into a blog for the Huffington Post, recently rebranded as the HuffPost. As often happens when people write feminist articles on the internet, I got a lot of – aggressive – responses from men, as well as some very supportive and congratulatory messages from women.

If you haven’t read the piece, click on any of these words to be whisked away over there, if you have, please enjoy this selection of tweets I received after it was published. Many of the most aggressive have since been deleted.

This guy gets it. How refreshing. https://t.co/Asg5LfgnKQ

It does sadden me tho that women have been saying this for YEARS, &now a man will be celebrated for saying it 😔 (no slight against u Scott)

So no man that has been told not to rape has went on to rape? Rape prevention is really that simplistic is it? 🙄

This is exactly how women live their life, in fear of something happening. And the only thing that can stop rape is men not raping us.

The difference being if your house gets burgled you don't get told it's your own fault for buying a tv, and are you sure you didn't…

All my life I've been policed by society, don't wear that, don't drink that, don't go out after dark or alone, yet men aren't policed.

Something that you require to be informed of?

Obviously I've read it 🙄
The whole approach of the piece assumes that men NEED to be specifically told & that alone IS perpetrator excusing

What a load of tosh. 99% of men don't need to be told not to rape. The thought would never cross my mind. I'd never raise my fist nor my

Scott, where did you grow up, in prison ? You raised by wolves ? https://t.co/ooxQUrwUEj

It's important that men say this too. Because men won't listen to women when we tell them not to rape, they might listen to another man. https://t.co/tZt2LWoGJP

If other websites can do a page of tweets as an article, so can I.
