Amanda Hess, a staff writer at Slate, has also written for Pacific Standard, GOOD, and ESPN the Magazine.\n\n"I ended up not loving the fact that I was getting a bunch of calls from MSNBC and CNN, who mostly wanted to talk about people threatening to rape and kill me and only a tiny bit about the story I'd written. ... It was tiring, and it seemed dismissive of me as a person. It's a strange thing to become somebody else's story, especially when the story is: You're a victim of an insane online harasser. That's who you are."\n\nThanks to this week's sponsors, TinyLetter and Oyster Books.\n\nShow notes:\n@amandahess\nHess on Longform\nsexwithamandahess.com\n[3:15] "Point Taken" (Washington City Paper \u2022 Mar 2008)\n[9:30] The Sexist blog\n[18:30] "What Women Want: Porn and the Frontier of Female Sexuality" (Good \u2022 Nov 2011)\n[31:30] "Why Women Aren't Welcome on the Internet" (Pacific Standard \u2022 Jan 2014)\n[46:45] "Just Cheer, Baby" (ESPN The Magazine \u2022 Apr 2014)\n[47:00] "You Can Only Hope to Contain Them" (ESPN The Magazine \u2022 Jul 2013)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
