Tara Bradbury wrote an article in the St. John’s Telegram last week about FemFest, a local feminist conference addressing issues like infant feeding, domestic violence and indigenous feminism. After the article was posted online, Bradbury said she started receiving messages from people who found the article highly objectionable. “At its root cause, I believe a hatred of feminism is just a hatred of women,” said Jenny Wright, the executive director of the Council. She says the attacks she receives on Twitter can be so violent, she has considered giving up the platform altogether. “Is this really what lies below the surface if you just scratch a bit?” Eugene Leger wrote in an e-mail.
