Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Online Harassment (HBO)

But he didn't say only women get harrassed, he said women get more harrassed. Which is true no matter what your perspective is.

The bit where said "congratulations on your white penis" was right after saying "that doesn't seem like that big a problem". Meaning he wasn't saying white men don't get harrassed, he was saying when discussing the matter a lot of men dismiss it as not as big a deal as it should be.

Now, of course men get harrassed online and offline and I'm sure all of us have dozen of stories of people being fuckwads against us for no reason, but if you start getting into the "actually singling me out and threatening to come to my house and do horrible things to me", the percentage of guys that have been on those shoes really goes down, while on women it stays on an unacceptably high level.

And just to shield myself from possible "OMFG UR A CRZY SWJ FAG" comments, I just want to point out I am a guy AND I have actually been targeted by an anonymous person that has threatened me while showcasing personal information that I didn't disclose anywhere, and let me tell you, that shit is fucking scary. Even knowing it was highly unlikely anything was gonna actually happen to me, that thought creeping on the back of your head that you could get jumped on at any moment is enough to warrant at least having a LOOK at the issue.

Look, I dislike anita and brianna just as much as any other, I don't like their actions or how they portray themselves, but why is it so hard for everyone to admit that they ARE indeed getting personal, actually scary threats by the dozens on a consistent basis? Why is it so hard for everyone to say "alright yeah that's just shitty" AND not have to accompany that sentiment with some political "... but I fucking hate feminists and you should dissapear from the internet blabla" kind of dribble?
