An interesting article

Hey look, it's another list of things that happens to everyone on the internet, but framed like it only happens to women. Say, wasn't the Amazing Atheist's videos taken down due to "false flagging" just a week or two ago? Guess he must secretly be a woman, because that's the only people it happens to.

How is this related to men's rights? Or interesting?

Edit: just read the study they cited that said 72% of online harassment victims were female, check this part out:

69% of victims were girls in 2010 compared with 48% in 2000. Furthermore, in comparison with earlier in the decade, harassment incidents in 2010 were more likely to come from a school friend or acquaintance and occur on a social networking site.

The increase in online harassment can likely be attributed to changes in how youth are using the Internet, especially a disproportional increase in online communication with friends by girls, providing more opportunity for ofﬂine peer conﬂicts to expand to this environment. School-based prevention programs aimed at improving peer relationships and reducing bullying are recommended to reduce online harassment.

Now let's compare that to the article they wrote about it:

After the campaign, however, she found herself targeted by thousands of commenters

Sarkeesian's YouTube videos were false-flagged, meaning her videos were labelled as violating the YouTube's terms of service agreement.

Un-moderated and anonymous forums like some areas of Reddit or 4Chan act as a gathering place

Ask.fm, for example, allows a platform for anonymous questions and is great for a "get to know you" low-stakes situation.

6 Insidious Ways Social Media Can Be Used to Silence PEOPLE.

This shit happens to men just as often as it happens to women. I have seen feminists doing this shit - particularly the false flagging.

But of course, nobody gives a fucking shit about a male victim.

Why is it interesting? it just looks like a standard hysterical women / feminist manufactured victimry story.

2 is fun, because it calls "an eye for an eye" "disproportionate".
