Where Will It End?

Mark Follman for Mother Jones: "Spitting, Stalking, Rape Threats: How Gun Extremists Target Women."

I'm not even going to excerpt it. Just go read the whole thing.

This sort of campaign will sound terrifyingly familiar to any woman who is engaged in advocacy on any virtually any progressive topic. Where will it end? Who's going to stop these assholes, who go running around shouting about their rights, with zero regard for anyone else's?

Nothing, nothing, empowers this reprehensible garbage more than the "small but vocal minority" narrative, which serves no purpose but for other people to justify their inaction.

People—men—who are neither the targets nor the perpetrators of these campaigns need to speak the fuck up.
