Do you post this because you like debating or because you condone rape threats?
Oh wait, probably to shut Helen up.

Because feminists are a protected class and if you disagree, you are engaging in hate speech and should be jailed!!!!

I can't stress this enough, mras and people who seem to advocate for them most often use this tactic: false equivalence. No its not the same thing, you are being either disingenuous or stupid, I of course need a larger sample size to figure out which.

It's as unacceptable as what's described in the article, and it's something that many (but not enough) contemporary feminists also condemn. I'm so liberal my heart's out of blood, but I despise Bill Maher and other commentators for participating in misogynist attacks. I think Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin are themselves sexist and racist, but they deserve to be free from attacks based on their sex and race.

That's a fair question, but it belongs to an entirely different conversation. Even if she pocketed all that money (which I'm fairly secure to assume she won't), does that mean she deserves this? Do you not find it disturbing that a person takes pleasure in beating the image of a woman up and seeing this very accurate and detailed bruises? How is that person not the same that would beat a woman in the street? So far the apologetic "explanation" for this pleasure has been "the lolz", "having fun". If this is your idea of fun, who are you and where has your humanity gone to?

I'd say that $6000 is pretty reasonable as compensation for her work. Researching and creating videos takes time, after all. People who care about the issue donated willingly. I don't see a problem with that. Why do you care if you didn't donate? It's not your money being spent.

If you ever went on a feminist blog or website you would see that there have been articles denouncing the public abuse of women who are in both the democratic and republican spheres. Yes, I roll my eyes when I hear some of the things that Palin has had to say and her daughter's views on life and raising a child are genuinely worrisome. However, if I saw rude, crude and abusive images posted of them being beaten or raped I would be just as pissed off. In fact here is an article in which a feminist blogger defends Michelle Bachman. http://feministing.com/2011/08/17/bachmann-sexism-watch-get-this-conserv... This blogger completely disagrees with Bachman's political views but feels that she should be discredited via a political argument, not calling in to question her sexuality or creating sexualized imagery from something as innocuous as her eating a hot dog. My point is that as a general consensus amongst feminists, we generally agree that abuse against any woman regardless of whether or not we agree with her personal views is not OK.

So, let me get this straight. You're reading from a source that you directly identify as "leftist," with a disdain that clearly identifies you as not being leftist, and you're complaining that this leftist source is not catering to both sides of this imagined fence?
If you want to read about someone creating their own Crocker impression over Sarah Palin, then go look for that. Don't come to a place that you admittedly know does not cover that sort of thing then whine and complain because you're not finding what you want.
You don't go to a bakery and bitch at the baker for not slicing you up a rack of lamb.
Seriously. Get a hold of yourself.
If you want to have a reasonable discussion about how certain stories or topics indicate particular political lean while other stories or topics get left in the dust, then do that, but take five minutes to logically back up whatever claim you're trying to make and be sure that the very foundation of your argument -- which, to underline this again, was that you went somewhere known for Thing A and not for Thing B, then griped that Thing B wasn't there -- isn't made of pudding.

Or as Tim Minchin put it: "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can break my heart".

Justin Bieber may seem like a girl, but he isn't. He is not being attacked over sexism, or racism. People just don't like him.
