It can be stopped if we changed social media to be, well social. If there was no public posts on Facebook, no public groups, there would be just your friends and you could talk with them. There could still be private groups, so that you could organize a surprise birthday party or whatever, but nothing would be public. The issue with social media is that humans are not wired to deal with that many humans in one place, so you end up with disfunctional behaviour. And, unlike what the media wants to sell it as, these attacks are not, per say, misogynistic. The bully doesn't care what he attacks you over, he finds what he thinks is a soft spot and then strikes. Insecurity over gender, beauty, social standing, racial identity, etc can all be used. The goal is to get a reaction out of you, and if he gets one he wins. He does not actually care that you are fat, a woman, or whatever.
