Sorry Buttercup, but I have a real job, a demanding job, all the adult responsibilities, and only one account.

And arguably, I'm not a troll. But if you perceive me as one or consider me one, I'm okay with that too.

I don't troll. I don't go out looking for men to bash. I don't seek to harass them.

I consider myself something like a hockey guard of the feminist tag. What I do is check trolls harassing feminist writers and challenge MRA writers who keep writing anti-woman mean spirited articles and tagging them with "feminism".

We're over here minding our business doing our own thing. What you lot are doing is the equivalent of little uncouth street scamps lobbing dirt and filth at passersby because you ran away from home and life got hard. So you have to take it out on people minding their own business rather than suck it up and go home.

Youre like paid hecklers, disrupting a gathering.

You know there's money to be made in misogyny, and you don't have any ither marketable skills because you've wasted your lives. Sobyoure out here stirring shit up with people not bothering you because you can't hold down a real job.

Or youre bitter old men who got edged out because you can't keep up anymore and your left you because youre an insufferable jackass no one can stand to be around. You spent your life bullying your family instead of being a part of them and they left you.

I'm like a shield maid or a rear guard. I engage and check your rage in the comments so the OP of good feminist articles doesn't have to. And so other readers won't get depressed seeing all the troll hatred on display every damn time in the comments.

They don't follow me because they want to lick my butt.

They follow me because my checks give them strength. It makes them feel less alone dealing with misogyny online. Because when the level of animosity and hatred isndirectes at you all the damn time for simply existing, you need to keep an eye on them because they're a threat. You instinctively seek shelter. You band together. You have to, to feel safe when you're under threat.

I make them feel safe. Or safer from harassment of feminist trolls.

Medium isn't going to. Medium is making bank off misogyny too. They're not going to give up that coin. No business ever does. They don't care about the damage we endure.

The effects of rampant misogyny on women's well being is and always has been acceptable collateral damage. We know this.

So you keep dogging us. Keep praying. But you get too close and I put you down like any other rabid dog on the highway. You get too close, expect that check. It's coming.

And if you think that's you being trolled. I'm good with that.
