I returned home rather ashamed of my gender. Watching the actions of some women (and cheered on by the loud crowd) make a few good-looking men understand what it means to feel like a piece of meat was stomach turning. It was like watching a bad Jerry Springer episode, but it was live, in front of me, and made up of people who were supposed to be my peers and/or possible audience. I had to leave.<br />I didn't really get what the topic meant by 'trolls'.

Apparently women, now having the freedom to sexually harass in turn, must now follow the arc our men have in learning to apply the filter to behavior.
