The Price of Speaking Up as a Woman Online

kata-speaks:



So…



I off-hand mentioned on a news article featuring quotes about raising feminist sons that I will be raising my son to be a feminist.



Which I guess was a mistake.



Because an MRA troll on the same site who didn’t like what I said followed my screen name back to my Goodreads reviews on RoM, the book I wrote, and “liked” all FOUR negative reviews I’ve received (out of 40 something) using six fake accounts.



How do I know this?



Because I got a transphobic, homophobic, misogynist reply from an anonymous commenter in response, and not an hour later, ALL the negative review likes occurred within a 2 minute span of time.



Now all the negative reviews of RoM have floated to the top on Goodreads, the most visited site for reader generated book reviews.



I mentioned that I would be raising my son to be a feminist, and in the most cowardly anonymous way possible, someone tried to destroy my career.



I shouldn’t be surprised.



If you have an account there and enjoyed reading RoM would you be able to help me?



If you can, please take a minute and like the top-voted existing good reviews of the book to counteract the actions of a petulant child who thinks women shouldn’t talk online.



PS, it’s still happening. I’m going to contact Goodread’s abuse department, but any help in the meantime would be appreciated.

I just finished Destroyer of Light, and I love Greek mythology. I was just wondering, considering the mentions of Dionysus, are you planning to write about him as well?

Oh, definitely. The next couple of books will tell his story.

And since you enjoyed Destroyer of Light, would you mind leaving a review for my book? It doesn’t have to be long, but it would be a great help to me.
