"I mean, seriously? You don’t make amends when you sexually assault someone! You pay for it for the remainder of your life, just as they’ll have to deal with your thoughtless actions!"

"And your WHOLE post is pity pity me…what about HER, Kyle? You mention her in passing in that massive self serving missive? Wow, you suck. Women and feminism don't exist for YOU Kyle…in fact, you are the LAST thing either of them need."

"Oh, but this is soooooo beautiful…..who cares about investing on cleaner water (and in the process, lowering the taxes of the citizens of that town by decreasing the level of debt); oh hell to the noooooooooez, we’ve got to get rid of them damn SLUTS and dem QUEERS and all that nasty UNGODLY SEXSEXSEXSEXSEX!!!!!!111111ONE11!!!

"In the end that's all we can ever do: present our arguments and have enough faith in those arguments that they alone will cause someone to see our side of the story. Changing someone's mind does not come by telling them how wrong they are, by what they should change, or by demeaning them, yelling at them, or lecturing them. I have seen all of these and I am sickened by it."

"I hope I've been able to serve as a gateway between us regular folks and people on the forefront of modern sexuality. I hope I've helped plant the seeds of a more positive and relaxed approach to sex, particularly as our most intimate lives become more entwined with our technologies."

"So, yesterday I got an email actually from Kyle Payne telling me that he would be putting up a statement on his blog today regarding 'recent events in [his] life.' It’s funny how for someone who claims he wants to hold himself 'accountable' for his own actions, he repeatedly uses that word: 'events.' I think that if we’re going to go with euphemisms here – and I’m absolutely no fan of euphemisms – 'my actions' would be a much more accurate one than 'recent events in my life.' See, events happen around you and to you. You are the one who sexually assaulted a woman and then pleaded guilty to secretly filming and photographing a woman’s breasts, Kyle. That didn’t happen to you – but it did happen to the woman who was assaulted."

"So now I'm just a plain old feminist. Down here in the gutter, where the saintly 'radfems' believe all feminists and women who do not agree with them live. The wrong side of the tracks. It's nice here, I like it. People, even if they think your opinions are stupid, speak to you with respect (as long as you speak to them with respect, naturally). They don't hold you to some unspoken, unwritten 'rules', and you can express yourself freely. I will have no truck with the superiority complex disease that goes with too much 'radical feminism' on the internet, or the notion that online 'radfems' form some sort of 'special club'. It is bollocks. And I don't want anything to do with people who will make the sorts of comments listed above."
