Maybe this should finally clue you in that online harassment has always been a pass time for and by women. ED, Kiwifarms, do you really think it's mostly men who spend all that time concerned with social warfare, gossiping and reputational damage?
The default on the internet is male, and the same goes for anons, because we expect women to make themselves noticable. When they don't, we assume they are men. But clearly social media is mainly for and by women. Maybe they ought to own up to that.
I have never seen more drama and abuse as in female dominated groups. Men have an argument, fight, and then go have a beer. Women will waffle and try to appear the reasonable party, but only so they can stick the knife in the back later, and they rarely forgive. This is generally true, but any woman who does not fight this way is a treasure who you can invite into groups of men without changing the dynamic permanently.

Never mind ED or Kiwifarms, what about B1FF and the Meow Wars? Internet trolling and flame-baiting very much dates back to the 1980s, when the Internet was truly a male domain; Twitter and Tumblr have simply made it mainstream. At most, we could say that some women with remarkably antisocial tendencies may have joined the fray with gusto, but I just don't buy the claim that they even account for anything close to a majority of that, erm, userbase.
