This may well become a semi-regular feature, as this way at least sends some linkjuice to the bloggers who have taken the time to document various gitting about that I find too angrifying to blog about in detail:
From Angry Black Woman: What Rachel Moss Did (her post title is so perfect for the category that I’m using the same formulation for the other links too)
Off Our Pedestals: What Nashville 911 did
From Lauredhel: What Law Student Ben in the Big Brother House Did (with help from Nobby and Rory)
From Irfan Yusuf: What Camden, NSW did
From Pam Spaulding: What the Raleigh, North Carolina Police Force Did
Jessica Valenti:What Some Men in Orlando, Florida Did to Mildred Beaubrun
Cara: What Rush Limbaugh Did
Fox News:
What Greg Gutfeld Did on Fox News, What Liz Trotta Did on Fox News
Insidious Commercial Gittery:
Melissa McEwan: What Lancome Did
Helen G: What Playtex Did
Anyone got any more git alerts? I promise I’ll do a more cheerful roundup later in the week.

Two things – What Rachel Moss did – some people are so crap. Shame on you Rachel.
Two: Feminist scificon. Wow. That’s hardcore.
rachel moss is my pick for git-of-the-week.
She certainly seems to have gone there with preconceptions that she merely wanted confirmed, such as that there wouldn’t be any gaming panels at a conference with girls. Having read several posts from women who organised or attended the very popular gaming and comics panels at WisCon, one can only assume that she just didn’t bother to actually look.
Where have all the real men gone? (The Age, Elizabeth Farrelly)
My pick for complete git, as I have never seen so much woman hating / homophobia in one article. The Age are gits for publishing it.

Thanks for mentioning that one, Rachel – I’ve been meaning to blog it myself but haven’t had time. My jaw, to borrow a metaphor from another blog commenter somewhere, was sore from hitting the floor so many times after I’d finished it.
Sheesh – apart from the essentialist, traditionalist gender role yearning, she doesn’t understand biology either.
Say what?
Honestly, on what planet does Elizabeth Farrelly think that genetic mutation is the only way that genetic traits evolve due to natural selection? Genetic drift? Transcription errors? Sexual selection, anyone? Just how quickly does she think that disadvantageous traits are “quickly selected out” anyway – just a few generations, or just maybe perhaps somewhat longer? On a planet where we are poisoning the ecosphere, are inherited lower fertility rates actually a disadvantage in the long run for not only our species but for all other species?
What a git.
P.S. since when is an inheritable change in the genetic structure not a mutation simply because it doesn’t “damage” the DNA? What does she mean by “damage” here anyway?
A little more precision when slinging around scientific concepts, please, Ms Farrelly.
Farrelly:
I present a single-image rebuttal:
What Centrelink did: Breached my friend, a single mother, who is struggling with the work conditions in her profession (lighting technician) and the cost and (un) availability of child care, especially for people intermittently employed in non-business hours. This is the second time they’ve breached her; the first time she was caring for her mother in her mother’s last weeks. She is about to lose her house.
I’m writing letters.
I only hope that the un-hidden racism of Camden is not upheld in the courts
