brimstone you said, "equal opportunity assholes" somewhere in this thread, can you explain what you mean?

To me it seems like a good system for fairness -- equal opportunity, but not necessarily equal outcome. But I've gotten many of my ideas on equality from Thunderf00t, so maybe I am an asshole, lol.

Where did you get that phrase without context?
The trolls shouldn't have done what they did. But trolls shouldn't do much of anything that they do. Their behavior isn't misogynistic, they just say whatever they think will push buttons - they're mostly equal opportunity assholes. When it's a feminist talking, the things they think will push the most buttons just happen to be misogynistic things to say.
I was just talking about trolls. They'll insult or threaten anybody they target in precisely the way they think will achieve maximum rage.
What I'm saying is I don't think the trolls were misogynistic, so much as they're just hateful in general to anybody they target.
