I've a link to a video documentary about misogyny on the internet which I want to post. It could go in LadyShea's Gender thread or Ymir's Geek Girls thread. It covers stuff we've already discussed there and elsewhere, like rape culture, gamergate, Robin Thicke—yeah, maybe too much to provide real insight or depth—but hey! This is mainstream TV so power and kudos to Wark and her team for getting it to air at all.
As I say, it could have gone in any number of other good threads, but I want to use it to seed a thread addressing questions about the basic malignancies arising from new, specifically information, technology. Wark's version of the question is "Is the internet just making us face something old and unpleasant that it would be relatively safe to ignore, or is it creating a new kind of misogyny that threatens new harms and needs new responses?
