Pretty much this 100%. It's not being a feminist or female specifically that makes you a target, it's being seen to respond poorly to attacks and trolling. If it's not feminists, then its furries, or otherkin, or bronies, or fanboys, or whoever else is seen as an easy target that responds poorly to criticism. Ignore trolls, and they'll (eventually) ignore you. Keep responding and baiting them, and you're toast. Same thing goes if you run a community. Don't want trolls? Ban and move on. Don't turn it into a big dramatic deal and 'war on trolls'.

>Ban and move on. This might have mixed results. Some trolls see getting banned as proof of successful trolling, whereupon trolling via another account might still be an option. I think the users are the key to making trolls go away, because it is a social issue and not a mechanical issue. Put another way: you can't program away trolling, despite how fun XKCD's idea [0] might be to implement. [0] https://xkcd.com/810/ https://xkcd.com/810/
