> - While left-leaning female politicians received slightly more abuse than right-leaning female politicians, there is a much stronger and opposite disparity for journalists. Right-leaning female journalists receive more abuse than left-leaning female journalists -- the gap is triple that of the left/right politician gap. Does anyone know what might be the cause? Perhaps right-leaning people not being as abusive towards left-leaning journalists as left-leaning people being abusive towards right-leaning journalists. IMHO most right-leaning people are too busy getting on with their lives and being successful to bother with being angry at opposing viewpoints. I could be wrong, though.
