"significant" the "number of men who are hateful toward women" really is. It's hard to tell a troll from a misogynist. I've seen a lot of assumptions that because the victim is female, and the harassment contains sexist language, that the harasser is therefore a misogynist. Or that the harassment is because the victim is female (as opposed to something she said). But when the troll's intent is to offend, obviously he will use language to that effect.
- JackC 12y agoI see your point, but I guess I don't see why it matters. Like, let's say Person A says horrible stuff because he hates women, and Person B says the same horrible stuff because he likes hurting people and the person he wants to hurt is a woman. And let's say I have a crystal ball that tells me which is which. What do I do with that information?
- jacalata 12y agoIt sounds like you think that trolls are not hateful towards women because they don't 'mean' the hateful things they say and do. I disagree - I don't care what you 'really believe', if you do and say hateful things towards someone then you are hateful to them and you should be counted in the group.
