RankkaApina | Feb 22, 2021 |    ) bit-of-a-list-tiger | Apr 24, 2019 | I have no idea who the target audience for this piece is, but it wasn't me. I've been there, online, right next to Penny; none of this is new to me. Dozens and dozens of feminists online have said all these same things and I've watched it happen in real-time. This excerpt reads like one long stream of consciousness blog post, containing Penny's thoughts on sexism and details about her personal sex life. She is a good writer, but it's distracting and confusing the way she shifts back and forth from serious discussions to an ode to sex toys. As I said, I'm not the target audience for this piece and probably not for her upcoming book. But if you aren't familiar with the state of sexism online then you might be.

'The Internet was supposed to be for everyone... Millions found their voices in this brave new online world; it gave unheard masses the space to speak to each other without limits, across borders, both physical and social. It was supposed to liberate us from gender. But as more and more of our daily lives migrated on line, it seemed it did matter if you were a boy or a girl.' It's a tough time to be a woman on the internet. Over the past two generations, the political map of human relations has been redrawn by feminism and by changes in technology. Together they pose questions about the nature and organisation of society that are deeply challenging to those in power, and in both cases, the backlash is on. In this brave new world, old-style sexism is making itself felt in new and frightening ways. In Cybersexism, Laurie Penny goes to the dark heart of the matter and asks why threats of rape and violence are being used to try to silence female voices, analyses the structure of online misogyny, and makes a case for real freedom of speech - for everyone. Laurie Penny's forthcoming book, Unspeakable Things: Sex, Lies and Revolution, will be published in 2014. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

"According to the current logic of online misogyny, a woman's right to self-expression is less important by far than a man's right to punish her for that self-expression. What appears to upset many of these men more than anything else is the idea that any woman or a girl, anywhere, might have a voice, might be successful, might be more socially powerful than they themselves are - at least, that's the message I get every time I'm told that I've got a lot to say for myself, and my silly little girl's mouth could be more usefully employed sucking one of the enormous penises that these commentators definitely all possess."
I can't really say it any better than that. I mean, the book deals with other stuff as well, and it's an enjoyable read, if you can say that about a depressing subject. (
