Commenters, oh, commenters

Cath Elliot has published on her blog a selection of delightful comments she received recently on a Comment is Free post about strip clubs.
Setting aside where we individually stand on this particular issue, the comments left speak volumes about how that particular community choses to respond to a woman they disagree with.
Cath takes all this in her stride, of course, and her round-up of the best/worst comments is pretty funny and lighthearted.
Have your say
In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.
- This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
- All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
- No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
- Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
- No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
- Be nice.

If you think those are bad you should see some of the comments on her latest CiF post, on how women are never to blame for being raped.
