I agree with the article that the changes propose are radical and dangerous. Instead, improvement could be achieved bottom up. For example, many women complain about online dating being an unpleasant experience for women. Some women decided to do something about it and started Bumble,

A dating app that only lets women message men. It's an interesting idea and totally changes the dynamic.
If online harassment is a problem on dating sites, women can and have created a better solution for themselves in Bumble. Women can do the same with a safer Twitter and Facebook - if they want. It's never been easier to do so, with Kickstarter and other funding options.
Women are not a minority - they are over 50% of the population, and more than capable of solving problems like this, again, if they want. Apparently things were bad enough in dating for Bumble, but since there isn't a female-oriented Twitter or Facebook, I suspect the problems are overstated on those sites.
