Anyway, despite my undeniable disagreement with absolutely everything they stand for ... these online attacks have been quite excessive, going far beyond rational debate (though describing feminists as "rational" is a stretch ... their attackers have taken irrationality to an art form). Many of the incessant e-mails and blog posts have included rape threats, and threats to the lives of bloggers and their families (including threatening specific family members by name).
One particular blogger named Cheryl Seelhoff (calling herself "Heart" and running "womensspace.org") is apparently a fringe Presidential candidate from the "Free Soil" Party (EXTREMELY fringe ... WAY beyond even Dennis Kucinich). Anyway - she has actually borne the brunt of these attacks ... which only give legitimacy to her loony cause.
Let it be known, however ... these women are absolutely certifiable. They couldn't be more wrong about more subjects if they tried ... they are basically the embodiment of antithesis of everything I believe. Most are lesbians, most are pagans or athiests or wiccans or something, many are socialists, and all are pro-choice, authoritarian feminists. A few choice feminists are actually "lesbian separatists", believing women will only be truly free if they secede from that portion of the world now controlled by the "patriarchy".
One of them actually suggested that she now wishes she'd aborted her son because she caught him viewing pornographic material ... which she deems an abuse of women, and destined to make him a rapist wife-beater. They're all wackos.
That being said, and their collective insanity notwithstanding, the attacks that they have endured are entirely reprehensible. They only serve to further scar these already psycologically fragile feminists, and push them even further into their little world where "patriarchy" controls everything and men are entirely evil. To them, these attacks prove that they've been right all along ... and only serve to tighten their ranks, rejuvinate their feminism, radicalize what few "non-radical" feminists they had, and generally shine a bad light on those of us who think that feminists are insane.

Sounds like a swell bunch of folks to play Poker with.
Misogyny recapitulates biology?.............
“them, these attacks prove that they’ve been right all along “
That sort of points to possible perps, does it not? Especially since the vicious attackers know the names of the families.
By themselves, no doubt.
Why are they so worried about being pro-choice when they don't have to worry about getting pregnant?
I read through the article again. For sure, whoever the Anonymous group is, they seem to know lots of personal information about their targets.
The call for better Internet laws was more muted than I’d expected.
Yeah, I’ve stumbled on those blogs too a long time ago when I was searching for stuff on the quiverful movement. While I don’t agree with the quiverful movement, I thought “heart” or whoever it was was way over the top.
The people who did the “hacking” are probably from 420chan. They have an /i/ invasion board where they pick targets and harass them. It’s more like clockwork orange type thuggery than say a mass movement of the patriarchy to put down women.

Most also are plug ugly....which may be related to their “feminism”.
Heart is such a radfem. I really had no idea such people even existed.
She had a post once about how men envy women. I won’t go into details but it was hilarious.
I'm guessing that the feminists are doing this to themslves so that they can get free publicity, since no one likely reads their garbage anyway. This also helps these mentally ill people retain their victim status.
