Penguins are tricky to sex, but that's sort of the point really. It shouldn't make a difference whether I'm male, female or any interesting version inbetween. Either what I say is valid or it isn't.

No, not necessarily Jgln's job to be moderate.... there's an audience for her work and she's a good writer. However, that absents morality from the question at hand - conspiracy theorists have an audience, they aren't often pushing for manipulation or violence but is it psychologically healthy for the people who a) say it and b) read it.

The catharsis is real, men can indeed be shitty and it's fairly obvious to see in the real world, but it's difficult to then hold the counter position of the Jgln approach accountable. The casual misogynist who doesn't want women to be beaten to death but also doesn't really want to engage and listen and instead wants to talk only to other men about how awful women are.
