Violence Against Women

Melissa McEwan (aka Shakespeare's Sister) has also resigned from JRE '08. A look at some of the mail Amanda Marcotte published gives you a flavor of why. And no, "she was asking for it" or "it comes with the territory" doesn't cut it here. Melissa has been in The Game for a while now; she's probably already gotten more than her share of nastygrams. Something particularly awful must have shown up in her inbox.

In the same way that immigrant bashing led to an increase in hate group activity, one wonders if the faux-third-wave feminism and joking-on-the-straight mild chauvinism of pop culture has led to an increase in much more unsavory attitudes towards women. Better data is needed to answer the question.

Happy Valentine's Day.
