Milly goating

Milly goating is not simply advocacy, support, or education but rather it uses some of the flippancy of trolling in an effort to combat misogyny. The tone of these posts are sarcastic, making fun of the original poster who started this week’s misogynistic discourse. A more gender-neutral version of “billy goat” as the term comes from “the three billy goats gruff

Grief Gating

The act of selectively mourning the death of someone based on their political or ideological alignment, while ignoring or rationalizing the deaths of those outside one’s tribe. A form of emotional compartmentalization that reveals unconscious bias in expressions of empathy.

Queer-gating

When you and your significant other hide your queerness from others. Not like queerbaiting at all, instead it’s acting straight instead of queer.

To gate-keep one’s queerness from others.
