“Every girl online is fat, ugly and unsexy. Here’s how to get over it.” Interesting article on being a woman and dealing with harrassment. I had a great discussion about personal conflicts (both online and off) on Saturday morning with my girlfriends. It turned out that pretty much all of us had been subjected to it. On one hand that’s depressing, but on the other hand it’s nice to know you’re not alone, I guess. Things have been mostly quiet on the troll front here, but there have been a couple blips of contact in the past few weeks. I’m happy with how well my strategy of ignoring them is working though. They don’t bother me. I just feel sad at people’s capacity to bear petty grudges and surprised at the energy they expend posting hateful comments that no one will ever see. Life’s too short to spend two seconds thinking about people like that. (Oh crap, I just did, didn’t I? Consider that the next year’s quota.)
