I find Gamergate is the classic example of the surge of anti-feminism and sexism that appears to be becoming mainstream. Nowadays it's not just about the 'femi-nazis' like in the past, it's the self-victimization of white males. It appears Trump gave them an avenue to 'feel strong' again. And this is in juxtaposition to Hillary who run a noticeable feminist campaign (as opposed to Obama, who _didn't_ run a noticeable black campaign).
