Omfg, I'm dying. I feel so awful, but some of these are just fricking golden.

Yeah, I question the empathy and decency of someone who would have no problem reading rape jokes to someone that was raped whether they wrote them or not.

Maybe it's all in the editing. But I wouldn't exactly be jumping for joy to read any of those comments.

Nope. I can agree that the rape stuff wasn't funny (except Bill Cosby), but the hockey puck and "I hope your boyfriend beats you" stuff had me laughing

I have no idea who those broads were, and they don't matter to me. Wouldn't blink an eye, and would laugh at a lot of them

No, they are both awful and completely unnecessary.

A little light trolling is fun from time to time.

This also just sort of shows a double standard.

Would these guys reading these act as ridiculous if they were reading mean Tweets to other guys? Probably not.

No one would shed crocodile tears for male writers/actors/etc

Because that makes complete sense. Rape? Too far. Domestic violence? A OK!

That's true, but since we're talking about abusive comments towards women, I stuck to talking about women being on the receiving end of such comments. As would be reasonable.

If you have to make a fake account on twitter and constantly make rape jokes at specific person. Something is a little off with you.

Sure but I think this video is trying to imply that women receiver harsher treatment than men on social media, which I don't think is true.

I would question whether you were a decent person then.

Are you sure about that? Especially in the sports journalist world?

Hell, this very website has done it to a specific Saints reporter.

I don't think it would be hard to read that to a stranger. "hey person I don't know, this other person I don't know on the internet says you're a count" Now if I had to read those to someone my mom or another relative, I would probably squirm a bit.

So in order to demonstrate the inherent disparity in how women are treated differently than men, you decided to treat women differently from men.

Yes. I'm fairly certain Danny Kannel could tell you some horrific and vile things tweeted at him.

Hell go through Matthew berry's twitter on sundays during Fantasy football season. Some people want him dead

Nope, wasn't my intention. You're assigning an intent I never had.
