Employer The Frisky | Name Robyn Pennacchia | |
Robyn Pennacchia is an American feminist, journalist, writer, and cultural critic. She is an editor at The Frisky, and formerly the Senior Staff Writer of Death and Taxes Magazine, and has written extensive opinion pieces on the subjects of feminism, income inequality, and rape culture. Pennacchia believes society reinforces a culture where men are made to feel entitled to women simply for existing, and that counter-cultural movements can be particularly bad with regards to shielding their sexist members.
Pennacchia's op-eds have made her the subject of some aggression amongst her detractors, in particular her articles "On sexism, sexual assault, and the threat of the non-bro" and "Elliot Rodger is the product of a society that teaches that women are evil and men are entitled" brought accusations of misandry.
