4Chan Hacks Feminism.org To Make Rape Jokes (warning; offensive)

For about 12 hours now, feminism.org has been the playground of hackers who've filled the site with sexist alleged jokes about horse blow jobs, rape, and more. Fake headlines include: "men are superior get over it!!!!" and "how to get raped 1 to 1." According to a lengthy discussion thread on Reddit, hackers from the 4chan community are behind it.
But first, wait, what is feminism.org? Well, it's nothing really. According to the Wayback Archive (which features screengrabs of websites on different dates), the site was "under construction" in 2011, but otherwise hasn't been an active website in about ten years. So yes, it's an attack on feminism, but it's not an attack on an actual functioning organization.
Take a look at some screenshots of the page from the past few hours:

So it's basically another example of subpar misogynistic rape-based humor to add to this summer's archives. At least it's on a site no one's looked at in a decade anyway — weak humor and weak hacking."

Sick and sad Weirdness.

ect.... to attack women.

we discuss the harms to men, women, relationship, children and society as a whole. but....

there is also the use as a weapon against women.

and before they say these are geeky teens, i would bet they are at least mid twenties and beyond.

nope, i do not want to go in and read the stupid ass shit from little men who cant get a woman, lol. thanks. i will trust you in what you have here for me to read.
