I will be appearing on Al Jazeera English tomorrow talking about misogyny online. The show I’m going to appear on is called TheStream; it’s on at 3:30 PM ET.
You can watch a live stream of the show on the Al Jazeera website here.
If you want to be part of the discussion on the show, you can record a comment for the show’s producers here, or on the main page for TheStream. Some of the questions they’re asking:
Do women face more misogyny online than they do in person? Why? Does it reflect real sentiment or opportunistic, anonymous behavior? Have you experienced harassment as a woman online? What can be done about it?
I’m really looking forward to the show. It should be interesting.
If you have any suggestions about issues I should raise or points you think it’s important to make, let me know in the comments below.
ithiliana,I think it’s going to be mostly women, among them Helen Lewis of the Guardian.
Is…is Tom Martin referencing the Cookie Monster alphabet?
Hang on…
Oh cool! Congrats David, I put a reminder in my phone.
That’s Helen Lewis of the New Statesman and Guardian, who debated me on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, and is a defender of the “feminists can’t be sexist against men” faith.
Sounds like a very biased panel so far – as I suspected.
“Yeah, we’re going to be debating hatred against women from a man-hating perspective.”
I’d rather watch synchronized swimming.
I hope you have fun, Tom! Synchronized swimming is very beautiful, and those women are such athletes.

I think little Tommy is in need of some attention.
Yawn
I think this gender debate panel is in need of some balance. Yawn.
‘Cause nuthin’ says balance like “98% percent of women are wh*res.” You’re a fuckin’ joke, Tom. Don’t insult us by pretending you’re a grownup.
Read the word yawn – yawned. Most suggestible Magpie ever?
If a guy gets a reputation for being a woman hater, it could hurt his career and social life. So it’s better for him if he does his women hating anonymously online.
Time to begging us to visit his site: 1:47
Good luck with the show, David, can’t wait to see it.
Oh, and Ruby is here. Awesome.
Actually katz, I think that time’s already passed.
Tom – all I hear is you getting pwned by Helen.
Also, I cannot get over the irony how awful it is that there’s a rights movement that advocates primarily women and not men, but it’s all right to have entire movements only for men that hate movements primarily for women.
Will there be a recording of it posted? I don’t think I will be around when it starts but I want to see it.
I’m guessing Tommy’s hit counter is down. Maybe he’s relying on money from web ads to pay off that 37K court bill.
Jumbofish, they put each episode of the show up on their youtube channel a day or so after it airs.
I’m not going to be one of the main featured guests; they have a couple of guests in the studio and four or five guests on a sort of webcam panel. I[m one of the latter.
@hard seats kid
No-one can be sexist against men. It’s not just feminists. That’s not how sexism works.
If it makes you happy, I’ll imagine a balding white guy yelling derogatory terms for sex workers and complaining about the furniture’s misandry after every segment, just for you. Good enough?
As a first-time commenter on here, I am surprised and saddened by the poor quality of this site’s resident MRA trolls. nwoslave’s comments are only barely coherent, while Tom Martin is employing the kinds of rhetorical strategies I’d expect to see on a forum dedicated to arguing about which Harry Potter character is the hottest.
I give the Manboobz trolls a D. Could do better.
