Cartoonist Gabby Schulz proves, once and for all (?) that sexism on the Internet exists. (http://feministing.com/2010/11/04/comic-about-discussions-of-sexism-on-the-internet-provokes-anti-feminist-backlash-proves-its-own-point/)
Gabby Schulz created a comic response to a discussion on sexism (http://www.gabbysplayhouse.com/wp-content/doodles/sexism-all.jpg) witnessed on Twitter.
Gabby then wrote a short post (http://www.gabbysplayhouse.com/?p=1444) and put the comic online. Then came the comments (http://www.gabbysplayhouse.com/?p=1444&cpage=1#comments).
Then the Men's Rights movement showed up and things got really interesting. Where in Gabby was called an over-reacting, man hating lesbian who could not possibly have luck with men.
Which, aside from really driving home the sexism point, is problematic because Gabby (http://www.gabbysplayhouse.com/?page_id=3) is not a woman.
