stalking is for everybody

so a few months ago i went to a stalking training. it was freaking creepy. the technology that is available now is unreal. there are cell phones that you can activate remotely and listen in to everything that the person is saying without their knowledge. this is in addition to creepy gps technology and ordinary spyware of course. so the training freaked all of us DV advocates out and we've been thinking about different things to talk with clients about in order to safety plan around the possible use of technology. so this morning a coworker said, dude check out msnbc.com so i go to msnbc.com and see a link to one of their blogs dealing with technology and stalking. http://redtape.msnbc.com/2007/08/leah-lived-for-.html#posts
so i read the article which is good, and then i read the comments. you would think that everyone could agree that using technology to stalk is bad, but no the comments are a handful of morons talking about how feminism has destroyed everything, how there are a million nice guys out there why do women date abusive ones, and that really the technology isn't so advanced, so why are we worrying anyway. it astonishes me that people are so ignorant to what is really going on out there. and why are they using a piece about stalking and technology to attack feminism? argh
