This, sadly, is just not true. One anecdote does not a pattern make.
- tombert 10y agoI don't think it happens quite as much to males, but it certainly does happen to males still.
- peterbonney 10y agoOf course - I would never dispute that. I'm talking about the relative frequency (and severity).
- douche 10y agoA lot of male cultures are heavily centered around ball-busting and giving each other shit. You grow up in that, a lot of what is characterized as low-grade internet harassment doesn't even register.
- peterbonney 10y agoI'm a male, and I grew up with ball-busting, and some of the "low-grade internet harassment" I've seen women subjected to most definitely does register with me.
- oldmanjay 10y agoOne assertion does not a fact make, even when it's repeated all the time
