In response to people claiming the outrage of the Twitter trolls is valid - well hate to break the news, but it's not.

Because the mindset of the PC mafia is pretty much akin to Bill O'Reilly talking about the "War on Christmas". And who'd trust the opinion of some angry sociopathic Twitter nut who's in about the same position to speak on behalf of "women's rights" or civil rights as Ted Bundy anyway?

Anytime an angry self-loathing woman or male with Oedipus complex cries "misogyny" (or any PC power word) ever so histrionically - it's pretty much a guarantee that it's not misogyny. This boy's cried wolf too many times.

Their standard of some 'vast misogynistic conspiracy' is seeing some basement dweller leaving an angry comment toward women on a Youtube video about Minecraft - that's all the "proof they need". What's sad though is that they actually think they're on the opposite end of the specturm from the crowd who thinks Obama's going to bring Sharia Law to the USA because of an internet photo of him wearing a Turban - when really they have more in common than they do differently.

PC paranoia's a trend that we'll look back on in a few decades and laugh at, because I've got enough faith in humanity that we'll eventually get past this "double standards are justified if group X is discriminated more" and realize it's just another version of "two wrongs make a right".

On the flip side I agree that violence and behavior targeted at women in day-to-day life is more common than anti-male violence from radical feminist - the problem is that the fanatics on the internet who're more interested in finding something to be outraged about than actually advancing civil rights actually think they're helping the problem, when they're really the lowest common denominator and harming the problem more than anything.

They also seem to be of the persuasion that promoting testoterone-lowering, PC hypersensitivity will in any way reduce discrimination against under-privileged groups - when there's no more actual evidence of that than the equally un-falisifable idea that prayer can cure cancer. It's just a trendy secular way to do nothing (other than embarrass oneself) and pretend you're helping, much like prayer.

Most of the nonsensical ideas behind the trendy manufactured PC outrage don't even pass basic psychology - since they seem to think that "shaming" and drawing attention to things they don't like helps reduce it, when most psychology pretty much agrees that giving bad behavior attention, even negative attention just reinforces it - heck even Dale Carnegie got this right 100 years ago, yet the PC police don't. Talk about a step backwards in social Darwinism.

Thanks to the media milking the righteously indignant suckers for all they're worth - now even a lonely basement dweller can become a celeb overnight - if he just posts something semi racist/sexist/(insert random PC word here)-ist comment on the right Youtube video and Twitter feed. And the worst part is the sheep down't even know they've being played like a violin, and doing more to promote said behavior with their exaggerated outrage by giving it the media attention it craves.

No wonder the Founders didn't believe in pure Democracy, and thank Jesus, Allah and Buddha for that.
