"You can't sue someone for calling them a cunt."

"If you can't handle the Internet, fuck off, whore."

"I wish Ashley Judd would die a horrible death.

"Ashley Judd, you're the reason women shouldn't vote."

don't tell Ashley Judd. She'll die alone with a dried out vagina."

I would fuck the shit out of Ashley Judd,

The unforgivable shit I would do to her."

Online misogyny is a global gender rights tragedy,

and our allies' voices are constrained in ways

but the referees were not blowing the whistle when I was telling them to.

Funny, they're very friendly to me before the opening tip,

but they really ignore me during the game.

Three of my players were bleeding, so I did the next best thing ...

It is routine for me to be treated in the ways I've already described to you.

on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.

misogyny and misogynists have amply demonstrated

being a hillbilly -- I can say that, you can't --

And I have responded to this with various strategies.

This one guy was sending me hypersexual, nasty stuff,

I feel a lot of fear that you may think about

"You know what? You're right. I apologize."

Sometimes people want to be held accountable.

This one guy was musing to I don't know who

that maybe I was the definition of a cunt.

so I said, "Cunt means many different things in different countries --

but I'm pretty sure you epitomize the global standard of a dick."

I've tried to rise above it, I've tried to get in the trenches,

but mostly I would scroll through these social media platforms

with one eye partially closed, trying not to see it,

but you can't make a cucumber out of a pickle.

And I was always secretly hoping in some part of me

that what was being said to me and about me wasn't ...

It is a system in which we all participate,

that particular tweet after the basketball game

triggered something called a "cyber mob."

This vitriolic, global outpouring of the most heinous hate speech:

when I was sitting at home alone in my nightgown,

I got a phone call, and it was my beloved former husband,

And there was something about him taking a stand for me that night ...

that allowed me to take a stand for myself.
