I have sent to a bunch o German activists that I know, here in Berlin. UNACCEPTABLE but Germany is not a feminist paradise. But the young ones are waking up!
Agreed...tens of thousands of women would welcome the opportunity to work collectively to make a difference. We just need to unite behind collective action(s). If there is something meaningful that can be done in a manner where sheer numbers will have an impact, there would be great support for same.
So sorry to hear this happening to you, Lauren. I truly hope at least some of these guys will face consequences. I will make sure to contact the newspapers I read if I find them publishing his articles.
In unrelated news, please consider changing the header picture for this article. You propably just wanted a random stock picture showing a German newspaper. But this is in fact a PR picture created by the conspiracy theorists of "Demokratischer Widerstand", a movement you certainly don't want do advertise.
Sadly being belittled and called stupid is just part and parcel of being on social media and us men are not immune to it's effects either. For myself I've learned to, mostly, ignore responses to any comments I make. Most are calling me stupid, but I'm OK with that as I realise I'm not a great communicator.
Yes, but do you get rape threats? Sexualized death threats? Regularly have men describe your body? It's different being a woman on the Internet. But yes, I appreciate that men also get crap. It's just a different kind of cruelty and fear invoked when it comes to us.
Yes I thought of that afterwards, female reporters in Canada have a real problem with men coming up and yelling FHITP while on live TV (I think you can guess what the acronym stands for)
Trolls are never *just* abusive online. Their behaviour always seeps offline, or, perhaps, it's the other way around? Until the repercussions match the bad behaviour, I fear, nothing will change.
Hi this same man is being racial towards me and my family because a very racist woman denied our dog help when he had been hit by a car. Is there a way you can help us with this? My email Is tsqslays@gmail.com.
Wrote to all newspapers I could find that published his work. Two in Aachen and two in Munich. Not acceptable he still has employment.
Thank you.

The injustice is appalling. What can readers do to help?

You can always contact his newspapers.
