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."

Finally got around to watching that and OMG!
Here's the link to the info [ageofshitlords.com] from the video description for anybody who doesn't want to watch a video. (The video is mostly a guy reading from that website, but brief quips he inserts make it worth a watch. Agree with the NSFW since it's a touchy subject.)
I really had no clue. It just makes a lot of things click if those guys are representative of hyperbolic male feminists.
I think a lot of guys call themselves feminists as a way of saying “I think women should be equals” without realizing the bigoted underpinnings of feminism. I still give a start any time somebody of any gender claims they're a feminist though. Guess that's something that'll probably always be with me.
