The most worrying thing about hate speech today is that time and time again it's in response to people, usually women, campaigning for gender equality, and almost always takes the form of violent sexual threats. There really is a concerted effort taking place to try to prevent women from having their say, and it's sickening.

It would be quite interesting to see a breakdown of death, rape, and violent threats based on a victim's gender, race, and other such factors.
