I tweeted some selfies... guess what happened next?

[GinAndSonic]

Some nasty little troll (one that i know of) has taken screenshots / saved my selfies and my bio and has tweeted about i should commit suicide, and just generally, with one or two of their followers, ripped into me. They feel sorry for my kids, i probably fucked and "alpha" and stung a "beta" for child support, tweeting about the correct "alpha" response to child support claims with a photo of a woman being punched in the stomach, laughing about how im fat, and as if i can be fussy.
None was tweeted to me, i found it because the person tweeted me and i nosed through their timeline.
Why is it so offensive to them that a fat, feminist woman would dare to quite like themselves?

Evening folks. Thanks for all your reports. We've shown the PBP the door again. As you were.

Well, he seemed nice.

Is your Twitter profile linked to mn, gin?

'Plenty' made me laugh too. Many a true word...

No, its not linked to MN. Yes, i had a chuckle at "plenty" too!

In response to the actual point though (now the derailing has been dealt with) I am in awe. All power to you for posting your pics. I am heartened to think that if everyone did just that, there would be a much greater acceptance level of human difference, instead of this ridiculous policing of norms. It's pretty sad that some folk need to bully and put down in order to gain some sort of limited social acceptance themselves, but then I guess that's how they have learned to perform their own particularly twisted version of online masculinity? I do often have a look at their fb pages, which quite often show perfectly ordinary lives. I always feel a little sorry for the baby dd's involved, and wonder if at any point these trolls will realise the consequences of their actions and feel a wee bloom of shame.

For you to feel the fear and do it anyway? Kudos.

It does remind me of some threads on here a while back regarding women not wanting to have their pictures taken. For that fear to have stolen family memories, or any sort of recollection long after personal tragedy is very sad. I would do well to remember that.

Has the FHRITP thing hit the UK news? Or the Dalhousie Uni dentistry school issues?
I am hoping that more employers will step up and deal with employees who troll as a result. I would definitely be taking screen shots of comments and profiles.

The tweets have gone now. Ive got screenshots for future reference.

Mad... yes it has, sort of. Shocking stuff.

I have no idea what a FHRITPB is.

This is why I like the MGTOW thing- it really signals which people to avoid.

gin- you know anyone (m/f/anything else) that behaves like that to another person just isn't worth a single thought.

Or an MGTOW.
Cute way of excluding people. I am off.

sorry- no exclusion intended- I googled it when I first came across it.

ok..so I sneaked back.
what the actual fuck is an MRA ?
I have no idea what you are talking about.
TTFN.

Men's rights activist.
I don't think anyone means to exclude - I had to look up the other two as well.

Yes, that's it - although I haven't seen that site before. A couple of weeks ago one of the (female) reporters who was targeted in this way while reporting at a football game stopped her report and asked the idiots involved what on earth they though they were doing, what their mothers would say etc. one charming idiot carried on, and of course the camera was still rolling. It went viral and he lost his job as a result. A very well paid job.

So, I guess I'm just applauding that if we do report and stand up to these trolls, eventually justice will prevail.

The Dalhousie thing was a closed fb group where male dental students were commenting on female members of their class. Some of the comments were leaked and the entire male class was suspended to ensure a safe environment for the women.

A university taking social media commentary seriously. Who'd a thunk it.

Hope they do "go their own way" preferably over the edge of a cliff.

Am sure they themselves are perfect physical specimens...

Apols - not being exclusionary - certainly here it is reported only as FHRITP, for obvious reasons. I hadn't seen any chat about it on mn, but haven't hung around on the FWR board for ages, so wasn't sure if there had been a discussion.

So a man said that he wanted to rape (?) a woman who he was reporting about as she was a missing person.

And some men (not too many I hope) think this is great and adopt it as a slogan?

Is that how it works? Or am I just missing something?

So this is bog-standard street harassment right? Just men shouting shit about what they want to do to women at them on the street, now with a handy shorthand slogan so they can all congratulate each other about it? And extra points if they do it on film? Or something?

Makes me despair it really does. So many men are just so utterly hateful to women aren't they, always have been, I can't feel confident that they won't always be.

Just today on the BBC the police have a list of 1400 men linked to historic child abuse reports. Earlier was reading about vaginal examinations without consent on unconscious female patients. Feeling very dispirited about things today.

OP dunno what to say really. I was thinking, well I'm going to tell my daughters never to post pictures of themselves anywhere because of what it might well attract in terms of comment. But, that's victim blaming isn't it? And, just not the right approach. Women shouldn't be chased away by men, all the time.

ok - but a pm wouldn't have gone amiss.
I will ask next time and someone will tell me.
I was at the heart of the feminist movement at around 1979-1986 and what works, really is legislation.
The equal pay act had come in and then the fight started - for protection from DV .For Refuges for all women, not only those with children -all women.Along with more issues it is too late now for me to go into, but I am sure you know.
A long way to go there as yet.
You can't stop idiots, who aren't necessarily women haters at all, from spouting stuff that gets them attention. They are just dickheads who hide behind their screens. They just jump on a bandwagon and cackle away.
There are way bigger issues to tackle than internet trolls.
