This morning, getting ready for work, I started thinking "What if?"
See, I am one of those people who says, if you make me miserable I will make you more miserable. I should be more pro-active than re-active but PTSD has made me otherwise.
It's better as I've gotten older.
But what if we women started pushing back? What if we said to hell with it and just en masse started giving these internet trolls the full measure of their violent threats and sickening insults right back to them?
Is it time for women to become Amazons and push back cruelly and completely in response to rape threats just to give them a taste of their own medicine?
There are probably a million reasons why we shouldn't, but when I hear some men say "What, men have to LET you do stuff? You had to wait for them to LET you have the vote?" I start thinking maybe they are right. Maybe we need to get mean and nasty and ugly and evil and threaten the trolls ( not all men, so it wouldn't be exactly as the MRA types do, but only threaten men who make rape comments or "you owe me sex" comments .)
maybe we need to start returning the fire, so to speak.
Being nice, ignoring them, trying to reason with them: none of these have worked.
How would they like a sudden onslaught of female rage in return for their ignorant, evil comments and threats?
It's an idea I had today in a moment of disgust. Untenable perhaps but rolling around in my angry brain nonetheless.
What if?
Thank you Mister Ed for such beautiful writing.
