After successfully campaigning to have old school author Jane Austen appear on the UK's ten-pound bill, Caroline Criado-Perez has been swamped with death threats and rape threats on Twitter. She reports seeing "about 50 abusive tweets an hour for about 12 hours," describing the reaction as having "stumbled into a nest of men who coordinate attacks on women." The advocate has responded by retweeting the threats, which include promises of violent action, demeaning remarks, and plans to find her.

Feast your eyes on these terrifying members of Ukrainian feminist group, FEMEN. They are protesting the 2014 world cup, to be held in Belarus.

Well, "hate" is a strong word; more like "pissed!" Or maybe, "PMS'd?" Hmm, probably best to let the ladies handle this, first up: Amanda Marcotte and Jill Filipovic with a more nuanced take than I.

I got these feminist chicks, they got something to say. An interview with a porn star, whose last name is Grey. Content like this, most people would pay. Something something something, Happy Memorial Day!
