Hitting Women is, apparently, acceptable

[miss_s_b]

On Sunday I was very briefly a trending topic on twitter, as lots of people retweeted my anger over the fact that there is a page on Facebook where one can become a fan of Hitting Women. Lots and lots of people did as I politely requested, and reported it to Facebook as inappropriate content. Yet it's still there. It's been there for well over a week now. A standing testament to the fact that while it's unacceptable to pick on the religious, or ginger people, or those of a different skin colour, sustained abuse against 51% of the population is perfectly fine in the eyes of our society. I, for one, am sick of women being classed as a lower order of human being, and I do not think it's acceptable.

How long do you think it's going to be before someone comments to tell me I'm a humourless feminazi who can't take a joke? Shall we start a countdown?

Disco Stu didn't read the other comments before commenting ;)

Facebook set themselves up as arbiters of content on a regular basis. There's an argument to have that maybe they shouldn't be, but if they're going to do it they should do it properly.

Actually, Disco Stu took so long over writing his comment that the other comments didn't exist when he started. So there. :-P
