Why wouldn't they frame the title as "Men and women are equally responsible for misogynistic tweets" instead of singling out women?

- jshevek 10y agoThe popular myth is that men are responsible for the majority of online abuse. Its more dramatic to phrase the claim in a way that is more explicit in contradicting this myth.
- Fricken 10y agoBecause they're countering the popular perception that men are responsible for the lion's share of online mysogyny. It's the trued and true 'Everything you thought you knew about the world is wrong, click here to find out why!' style of headline. The Telegraph does have a business to run, after all. A little bit of sensationalism is good for the bottom line.
