Online abuse is not limited by gender

I think the main difference in online harassment (or real life harassment for that matter) between genders isn't that one experiences it more than the other, it's that men are told to expect it and deal with it in silence. Women are told that it should never happen to them and to protest loudly when it does.

So there is a difference in how common it is seen to be between genders without there being any actual differences in incidence rate.

Men expect abuse and deal with it quietly and privately.

Women expect to be treated delicately and deal with abuse loudly and publicly.

There's no such thing as online abuse. It doesn't fucking exist. You know why? Close this tab and see if someone forces you to open it again.

You can scroll down. You can ignore. You can get off the fucking computer.

Online abuse is a fucking myth created by a professional victim industry desperate to adapt to new technology and perpetuated by a populace of weak willed low intellect imbeciles looking for any chance they can get to play "My owie! my owie! dey did a bad ting! My owie!"
