From BitchMedia.com: “In December 2018, on the heels of the #MeToo movement and Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary committee, Michaela Okland, then a student at Arizona State University, decided to create a Twitter account to respond to a disturbing trend she’d observed: men becoming increasingly more dismissive of women’s experiences with online sexual harassment. Okland wanted to curate a Twitter repository of anonymous screenshots that would document this phenomenon, so she named the account @SheRatesDogs, a nod to the wholesome dog-spotting account @WeRateDogs, though, in this case, “the dogs are your exes.”

SheRatesDogs is the grimmer, sardonic cousin of its counterpart, which posts pictures of sunny golden retrievers and cockapoos in hats, rating them on a scale that ranges from 9/10 to 15/10, with wholesome captions in internet dog-speak (“good floof” or “helpful pupper”). SheRatesDogs, on the other hand, relies on a rating system that exists only in the negatives. The tweets she posts are astonishing in their range: Some of them reek of desperation (“hi” and “hey” sent repeatedly over the course of weeks or months, even as the recipient doesn’t respond). Others are violent. And some are simply absurd (a Snapchat message simply saying, “Hey, I was in a car accident. Will you send me a picture of your tits?”). SheRatesDogs catalogues it all.”

I follow the account on twitter (@sheratesdogs). I like to look at the posts to remind myself that one) I’m not the only woman dealing with terrible men, and two) her remarks are usually pretty witty and entertaining. She’s also on insta but has been removed a few times due to (you guessed it!) “hate speech,” ie: saying men are not perfect, flawless angels.

My only beef with her is that she subscribes to a more libfem school of thought, which comes out sometimes when discussing sex work (of course).

I just wanted to see what y’all thought of her content and if it has a place in the FDS universe. Thanks!
