Woman complains about insults, in the independent

Free speech means being free to use technology and participate in public life

yes

without fear of abuse

No

and if the only people who can do so are white, straight men,

White straight men don't get any abuse? Must be because of our privilege.

the internet is not as free as we'd like to believe.

The first step in femocentric censorship.

I don't think she understands that just about everybody get's insulted, trolled, and otherwise flamed when they expose their opinions and writing to the public. She believes that only women and minorities suffer from this. She either has blinders on or is very ignorant.

So what you're saying is that women who write in the internet public-sphere are being exposed to the same trolling and bullshit men are? Obviously, this must be remedied...

She sounds like she just wants to blame her lack of warm reception on sexism when it's really because she's an idiot.

This is the only subject Laurie Penny ever writes about.
