After the initial deluge of abuse, ‘jokey sexism’ and plain old misogynistic hate-speech, around mid-afternoon the tweets began to change. There appeared tweet after tweet consisting of little more than the FEM11 hashtag and a link to a porn site. The tweeters of these were faceless users with no info at all about themselves, just phoney accounts presumably created specifically to infiltrate the conference’s twitter stream and push pornography on the thousands of feminists both at the event tweeting and those following it online.

And why the links to the porn sites? Why would these trolls who are actively trying to be sexist be tweeting links to porn sites? The answer is simple: because porn is misogynistic.
