Her article re stalkers and trolls is horrifying

Jean, if you are reading, I think you are wonderful for starting the petition for the Ched Evans' complainant and for all the work you have done. Please know that I am thinking of you. Stay strong

Oh goodness. That was worse than I could have imagined.Sad

I love Jean's campaign! Her updates have been so touching and warm-hearted. Xenophile if you are in contact with her please do pass on my warmest wishes and tell her she is held in^^ high regard.
So sorry for the egregious behaviour from some of the obviously very disturbed seventh circle of the internet. She deserves better - lovely pies and cashmere socks and a sedan chair.

Going to brave reading the article now.

They can and they sometimes do, but the enormous number of them right now is worrying.

FreshwaterSelkie · 29/10/2016 16:33

That article is chilling.

We're behind you, Jean. The world needs more like you.

Cockblocktopus · 29/10/2016 15:31

That article. Shock

Why, why do men hate women so much?

Flowers for Jean. Keep your chin high.

Datun · 29/10/2016 15:03

Hillary's right.

Can the police identify Jean's trolls? And if so, why wouldn't they?

HillaryFTW · 29/10/2016 14:50

I think Datun meant can twitter tell the police who the wrong doers are...?

Thanks Jean.

Xenophile · 29/10/2016 14:45

Datun, doxing depending on what information is released can be a crime, unpleasant or extremely dangerous to the person who has been doxed. Is that what you meant?

SpeakNoWords · 29/10/2016 14:19

Thank you, Jean, for being stronger than me and being able to take action in the face of these vile misogynists. You are a hero to me.

venusinscorpio · 29/10/2016 13:58

Jean, thank you so so much for what you do and what you have done with the gofundme for the victim in the Ched Evans case. It's incredibly brave. I am looking forward to donating on Monday when I get paid.

I am sorry you have had to leave twitter due to the actions of misogynist bullies.

ChocChocPorridge · 29/10/2016 13:51

Bah. Foreign language fail... that's what I get for posting enraged.

ChocChocPorridge · 29/10/2016 13:49

Jean (or Ms. Hatchet - since well, I don't know you and you have enough men crossing the line, without women doing it too), I'm sorry you have to put up with this. I hope the CPS can get it together and prosecute a man who is clearly a danger to women.

I hadn't donated yet, but I have now, on the back of that article.

Bon Chance.

birdybirdywoofwoof · 29/10/2016 13:44

Terrible, terrible to read that.

She - and all those who stand up to these shits - are awesome.

Datun · 29/10/2016 13:42

And yes, thank you Jean. Your updates on the go fund me page were moving and strong.

Datun · 29/10/2016 13:41

Can anyone tell me if it actually not possible to identify someone from their social media accounts or whether to do so is just a breach of rights ?

GinAndSonic · 29/10/2016 13:38

Bloody hell, it's disgusting that some men will go to these lengths to abuse women that they don't even know based entirley on the fact that they have the cheek to have a voice, an opinion, and a feminist one at that.
I'm pleased we have women like Jean who won't be silenced.
Sorry you had to leave twitter Jean, you don't deserve this shit. There are a lot of women behind you, we support you x

Xenophile · 29/10/2016 13:33

She is a wonderful woman, I'll let her know how you feel, thank you!
