Can We Please Put the Trolls in the Dungeon.

My experiences and views on safe spaces for women, including the grossly under-challenged gender specific internet hate. Rah rah rah.

Misogynistic trolls & comment policy

Jenn talks about the misogynistic aspect of internet trolling & explains her comment policy. Thanks for watching!

“The online harassment of women exemplifies twenty-first century behavior that harms women yet often remains overlooked or trivialized. It stops women fully participating in online life, often driving them offline, and undermines their autonomy, identity, dignity, and well-being.”
~ ‘Combating cyber gender harassment’ by D.K. Citron - professor of Law at University of Maryland School of Law

Internet Misogyny, Trolls and Gendered Comment Abuse

Misogynist trolling, online abuse, safe spaces and making women’s voices heard is the many layered topic for this week’s discussion.

I thought I’d start us out with a good old sweary rant about gendered online harassment and our new stricter comment moderation policy.

Have you experienced online harassment? What have been your experiences as a woman on the internet? Tell us in the comments and leave video responses.

There’s also a growing Twitter movement to publicise online harassment and misogyny using the hashtag #threatoftheday.
