Mistreatment of women MPs revealed - BBC News

This is just part of the job. We've been berating the male MPs for years. Hell, David Camerons had it worse than anyone that I can remember (oink oink).

Are we meant to treat woman differently because of their gender? If you're going to go into a job where you tell people what to do (and say and look at and think about) you're going to have to deal with those who don't agree.

Edit. I want to add it is wrong to just abuse people over social media. It's not write to men or woman. This article just makes it seem like we're patting people on the back while being horrible to woman. If you attack their policies that's OK, getting personal isn't cool which happens to ALL politicians.

.....and yet nobodies bothered to ask the male MPs if they have had the same treatment??

Today we see yet again UK Parliamentary Misandry In Action.

Male MPs do get the same treatment, but the "Women Are Wonderful" effect and gender bias is at play.

If you make an online threat to a female MP, or if she perceives comment as threat, she see's it as a real world threat and it gets counted.

When men are threatened in the same way they see it as irrelevant, however threats to reputation with false and malicious claims are taken seriously by men ... but not counted.

So a Female MP receives the following tweet its'a a Threat "You are so stupid and ignorant you should be aborted now"

A male MP receives the following and it's not counted "You know me and you abused me as a child - You are evil, I hope you die".

MPs should all be protected from abuse and threat, not just perceived physical threat at low level of reality by female MPs - but the abuse heaped upon male MPs should also be counted and the gendered differences recognised.
