Owen Jones with an excellent piece on the real, true "dark side of the internet": "Twitter can quickly and easily project prejudices that linger in our society, translating them into 140 characters of malice. The campaign against Criado-Perez is one symptom of a continuing backlash among too many men at the great strides by women in the struggle for equality. Women have faced subordination and oppression for millennia, and – in the great scope of human history – it is only relatively recently (and still within living memory) that the game-changing breakthroughs against male domination have been won. Large numbers of men have been positively changed by feminism, liberating them from a stultifying, macho form of masculinity, but others still cannot bear to accept a woman as their equal" independent.co.uk/voices/comment/trolls-caroline-criadoperez-and-how-to-tackle-the-dark-side-of-twitter-8735415.html
