Please replace the word "MOVIE" with "FORUM", and by forum I mean the internet as a whole, and specifically LJ. Over the weekend, some self-loathing troll decided to invade my blog and leave all kinds of misogynistic comments, all written as "anonymous." I've never censored any type of criticism toward me here - people have openly insulted my looks, clothes, mentality, life choices, etc., and I tolerate it for two reasons: (1) people are entitled to their opinions; and (2) freedom of expression is the only way to have open and productive discussions, facilitate changes in mentality, and progress societies as a whole. But I will no longer permit blatant misogyny here, directed toward all women in general.
All anonymous comments are now banned. I previously allowed them, but only after I screened them first. I don't have time to weed through dozens of sexist comments to find a diamond in the rough. If you wish to communicate with me, you will have to register as an LJ user to leave comments moving forward. Of all the comments left the past few days, nothing infuriates me more than the following:
"You will never find a man because you're outdated."
Did you know women have expiration dates, just like dairy products or the slabs of meat in your market?
This is news to me, and the mentality is disgusting, yet still pervasive in your culture. Not only with finger-happy trolls who go wild with the keys and spit virtual bile, but society in general. And how exactly is this expiration date determined? When you can no longer give birth? If so, then the age should be shifted upward, because women now have babies well into their 40's, including members of my family.
I now begin to understand more and more why I'm considered by some readers to be a radical feminist. Because, in essence, feminism is the radical notion that women are people. Not only until age 25, but their entire lives....and, yes, I believe it to be so.

Date: 2016-04-25 10:10 pm (UTC)On an unrelated note, do you know any type of freelance site in the .GE domain where I might be able to find a local to help with some type of virtual marketing pamphlet for my blog, for an economical price? I was contacted by the Georgian National Tourism Administration about possible cooperation for my journey in October. I need to submit data/statistics and more info about myself and the blog in some type of condensed and aesthetically pleasing format...there's a site in the .RU domain for these types of projects, where you can hire freelancers - www.fl.ru. If you know of something similar in your region, please send me the links. Many thanks! :)))
