Large surveys and platform studies show that women, especially younger women, and racial/ethnic minorities are disproportionately targeted, with particularly high rates for Black women and other women of color on Twitter/X-like platforms.
On Twitter, Amnesty International found that Black women were 84% more likely than white women to be mentioned in abusive or problematic tweets, and women of color were 34% more likely than white women to be targeted.
Pew found that women are more likely than men to say they have experienced certain severe forms of online harassment, especially sexual harassment and stalking, and that younger women are the most vulnerable group.
Online abuse is widespread, but it is not evenly distributed; it falls more heavily on women, especially women of color, and on other marginalized groups.
You're out of your element, dude. I'm sure you know tons about Clojure, or cap tables, but you're spouting off unfounded bullshit in a field you haven't bothered to study. You're perpetuating a dangerously unrealistic mythology.

I'm really curious, since none of what you just wrote I didn't already know, and none of it is relevant to my comment. I don't even know what you're arguing against because you won't let on.
