A Very Small Sample of Selected (Celebrity/Public) British Men are harassed more than Selected (Celebrity/Public) British Women.
Watch #gamergate on twitter for just a minute and you'll get the opposite impression. By far.
*Edited to emphasize the celebrity/public status, as I think that might attract harassing a bit.
- sp332 12y agoI was wondering how this study got this result, since other studies have come up with very different numbers.
- adsche 12y agoYup, they even mention other studies in the article but could obviously not find one to support their headline. So they write stuff like: While Hess’s Pacific Standard article drew on that survey to note that “5 percent of women who used the Internet said ‘something happened online’ that led them into ‘physical danger,’” it made no mention of the fact that 3 percent of the men also reported such an experience.
