Oneangrygamer.net notes:
"Tech journalist, male feminist, and anti-#GamerGate critic, Matt Hickey has been fined $332,000 for his fake porn agency recruitment scam that he used as a front in order to have sex with young women and take nude pictures of the women."
"Hickey had been running the porn agency scam since 2006."
"All during this time Hickey had been advocating for sex-negativity on behalf of third-wave feminists. Hickey adopted the activism of a male feminist, attacking companies and the tech industry for its alleged "sexism", including chastising Microsoft for hiring gogo dancers for an after party at the Game Developers Conference.. Hickey previously wrote for The Stranger, Forbes and Gizmodo."

Clarification for mods: I was not attempting to be funny. Well maybe except the last paragraph.
I mean, I'm not without a sense of humor, and stepping back from the situation and looking back 15 some odd years, I guess maybe it is pretty hilarious. I'm only relating what every assigned male (trans women, homosexual men, cis+het variety, you name it, anybody who has ever at any point in their life had an M on their birth certificate) on campus was threatened with in an official university presentation that was a required part of orientation.
Attendance was optional for womyn-born-womyn (cisfemales, however you want to say it), and their attendance was discouraged. I cannot emphasize enough that this was an overtly sexist requirement of the college I was stupid enough to attend and likely in direct violation of Title IX.
(That's the first deflection technique you get from feminists because they realized that they were in violation of the law when these things first came out—that the presentation was informational in nature and not meant to be threatening or sexist. These days I understand that womyn-born-womyn are technically required to attend date rape training but that the content of the presentation is not substantively different.)
