I was there, I remember. Watched slashdot get completely taken over by gay commies. Was there when FARK banned "misogyny". When Penny arcade groveled to the fat feminists over a really mild joke where a mention of rape was a part of the setup.

The iphone let women get on the internet without having to deal with an icky and "complicated" desktop computer and that was the mortal wound. From there the bleed out was inevitable as every "mainstream" site fell over itself purging anything that women complained about.
