"I have been browsing Pitchfork Media recently and feel guilty about it"

This link, basically.

This is one of those posts where people who don't spend a lot of their time internetting (how did you get here?) may get a little confused. Don't worry, I have compiled a fun little quiz below.

How familiar are you with sexism and the internet?

Question 1

What do you think about the Men's Rights movement?

a) Men's rights? Well, there's a women's rights movement, I suppose it's only fair. I guess they're like Fathers for Justice with less stupid spiderman costumers and climbing up public buildings.

b) I left Reddit in 2011 and looking at the front page makes me feel a little queasy. 

c) Never heard of it.

d) Finally, someone standing up for men against female privilege!

e) It's a satrical movement and it doesn't actually exist

Question 2

What do you think about 'Rape Culture'? 

a) I don't listen to punk rock

b) I own one of these t-shirts. 

c) It sucks? That's kind of like asking what I think about syphillis. It's not great. It's not my favourite. There's probably someone out there who loves syphillis but....I lost my train of thought. 

d) It's a feminist conspiracy and 40% of rapists in America are female.

e) It's a satirical concept and it doesn't exist. 

Question 3

Who do you think generally experiences more oppression in society - men, or women?

a) Men.

b) Women.

c) 

d) "Women can use the government to oppress men without question, whereas men who wish to oppress women do so entirely independently. This is the critical distinction between men's rights and women's rights in the modern era."

e) This whole questionnaire is a waste of time and if everyone got on with working together to make sure we're ALL treated equally we wouldn't be in this mess.


Answers

You should probably just google Men's Rights. I'll be waiting. 

Anyway, the point I was eventually labouring towards is that a band (artist? I feel a bit of a twat typing that) called Default Genders has recently put out a song called 'on fraternity' and it's about rape culture. This is a very good thing for several reasons, one of which is that it's by a male.....artist....and I am surprised to say that the Youtube comments section isn't full of rabid trolls making barely veiled holocaust references and going mental. Also it makes a nice change for a feminist song to be less like the usual Bikini Kill rattle-trap screaming that sounds a little like it was recorded in a toilet.

I love you. I'm sorry. 

Anyway. It's good and you should listen to it. 
Also the internet has turned into a bit of a toxic misogynist pit recently. Just joking, it was like that before but there was a section for it on Sickapedia rather than Wikipedia.
