The Pitters' Place

Firefox shared this article for International Women's Day, detailing the gender disparity in internet access across the world, particularly among uneducated rural women and those in developing or third world countries:

And this was representative of the average comment:
"Sounds like a bunch of fake stats. All the women I know are on the net."

and "You only have to look at the amount of women with smart phones to realise that this statement is garbage."

I like how every single comment was from a man.

I am reading them now because I don't love myself. One comment refers to 'females' so you know you have some solid Discourse on your hands before you even get to 'But women already have so much power, this isn't about equality anymore — it's an agenda geared towards tearing men down and forcing roles/unfounded fears on women'. MR GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN THIS MAN

I saw a thoughtful and sensible comment and then I realised it was yours Anyway, my point is, ban men.

Argument in defense of men:

the proper thing to do is to suck up to aels so as to be excluded from the future ban.

@aels:

I love u guiz. I have dealt with so many shitty dudes today that coming to a place like this where no one is an asshole (except Az, obviously) is just deeply cathartic. See, it really is Not All Men!

(I will have to ban you all though or they will take away the feminazi badge I got for personally destroying civilisation).

That's nice love. Now can you go and make us all some sandwiches please?

She's busy destroying civilisation, so you'll have to make your own.

How in the world does pointing out the gender disparity in internet access primarily in other countries engender (harhar) this much butthurt responses? I mean, seriously...
