Lauren Mayberry on misogyny. Can’t imagine the bullshit she’s faced, being intelligent, young-looking (at 27 there, she looks 13), pretty, and worst of all (from the loser male misogynist perspective) super talented. That’s like the perfect quartet of traits for misogynistic trolls to relentlessly attack. Didn’t realize she was Scottish, though — had never heard anything but their songs before watching this interview, so had never heard her speaking voice.

I don’t think we should call them trolls, though. In a sane world, a death threat in a tweet or text message or FB post would be handled the same way as one dispensed in person. But then the tech companies wouldn’t rake in as much cash, and we couldn’t have that, could we?
