History of Feminism
In reply to the discussion: What happened when I confronted my cruellest troll [View all]davidthegnome
(2,983 posts)perhaps even impossible, to forgive someone who used my dead father's name and image to harass me. Fortunately, my father is still alive, but, as someone who aspires to one day perhaps write professionally... and given my political leanings, I can imagine something like this happening. Especially on the internet.
There is a certain level of anonymous protection on the internet - and a greater level for those who know how to hide their identity. So, generally, it's not as if you have the opportunity to confront a person like that, either personally or legally. I can imagine that, as a feminist, this lady gets a lot more insults and threats that she didn't mention in the article.
It takes a lot of fortitude - and courage, to keep going in the face of the kind of adversity that she most certainly faces every day. I applaud her courage and her compassion.
