I just looked at a few comments on the two sites you linked (never having visited either before) and I couldn't tell the difference. I'm not sure what you intended to say by comparing them.
I'll admit I didn't review any recent comments on Spearhead before posting. I visited the site months ago and was so annoyed by the commentariat that I haven't read much there since.
It's possible that I caught a bad patch or that they've gotten more moderate since, in which case I've misrepresented them and I apologize. But I have seen similar sentiments expressed towards them elsewhere in the interim.
The comments were unpleasant to awful there, but they were mediocre to awful on the other site too. There were a few more "This is a great post." style comments on Owning Your Shit but that was the main difference that I saw from clicking through a couple articles.
Fair enough. The comments are indeed awful on both sites, but that's true in broad strokes for most political blogs. I was mainly trying to point up accusatory and gender-essentialist strains I remembered from Spearhead that seemed much attenuated in OYS, but in light of this the difference evidently either isn't there or isn't glaring enough to be clear to first-time readers from context-free links.
Since I don't particularly feel like doing the muckraking myself and I can't expect people to do it for me, I retract that comparison. Pity we can't strikethrough portions of a post.
