Article or essay
It's likely that I'll publish this as an essay instead of an article, because some people will insist on inserting forcing in "snark", and I think that the topic will greatly benefit if hyperbole is kept at a minimum. People are still welcome to make suggestions on the talk page, though.--ZooGuard (talk) 06:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I think article, and make sure the snark is kept at bay. We can build a better RW that way. Scarlet A.pngpostate silverbrain.png 07:57, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Article. Evil fascist oh noez 13:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Article with snark where appropriate. 19:47, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Linkdump
I have so many browser tabs open that I don't know if I'll manage to dump all the links. It doesn't help that I get easily distracted when reading old blog posts.

Some of the material, alas, is lost due to ScienceBlogs' transition to National Geographic - it ate the comments of Pharyngula, for example, and that's where Dear Muslima was.

 * Oh. Your. God. Are you writing a thesis on this? This isn't a link dump it's a fucking Master's project literature review! Scarlet A.pngmoral silverbrain.png 20:20, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * One of the reasons I was putting off (if this is the correct verb) writing this article was the sheer volume of the source material. That and all the idiocy in it.--ZooGuard (talk) 21:34, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Mike Tyson
I am trying to find out if I remember correctly a detail about Mike Tyson's rape case. So far my Googling hasn't found anything decent, but here's a representative article comment:

And now I really need to go to sleep.--ZooGuard (talk) 21:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * What's that got to do with Rebecca Watson? 01:06, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Just a tangent. If I remember correctly: coffee, late at night, hotel room. And people like the one above saying "what did she expect?".--ZooGuard (talk) 06:31, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I think thats better suited for the Rape Culture page then this. --Revolverman (talk) 06:49, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
