I'm sorry to start off a comment with "I'm not a X, but" but here goes I'm not a woman, but I do have experience being doxxed by groups on the far right. Me and a few other friends/organizers (~4-12 in total with varying degrees of severity) had our pictures plastered on 4chan. Someone really close to me got labelled "the president of antifa" and I can promise you most of 4channers are really dumb enough to think that's a thing. The main people who outed us were clearly a joke. They paraded around our IP addresses as if it was our GPS coordinates. They threatened to turn us into the FBI (this was when Trump tried to label antifa a terrorist org). [PS none of us considered ourselves members of antifa lol]. Mostly we made jokes about it and printed out the 4chan comments calling our friends soyboys or whatever. But my close friend, the president of antifa, had her name out there and someone used a people finder website to find her mom's home address, phone number, etc. We all had to close down our social media for a while to protect each other's privacy and safety. I know to most people 4chan is a joke. But just look at January 6th as an example. These people are stupid enough to believe that some tiny as group of students protesting climate change could be the leaders of antifa, but they're also stupid enough to act on that. I don't think most people really understand what it means to have your name, face, and other personal information out there with the types of people that got radicalized enough from pizzagate memes to walk into a pizza store with a rifle Incels might be a tiny group. And that could give most people the reassurance that they'll never win an election or whatever. But when it's the case of something this individualized, the very fact that they exist is a big threat to your safety
