Horrific stuff being dished out, But I have little sympathy for ONLINE abuse claims by adults....block, or go read a book, duhhhhh

Easy said than done.

@Ryo1 ummm, what? I do it all the time! "Report" too

@AnneWimsey

I think it is more serious than you dealing with rude ones by blocking them when cyber-violence against women is not a series of isolated acts, but a systemic scourge.

@Ryo1 if you deal, by absenting yourself, as soon as the first ugly word is hurled, it can never rise to the level of violence....
Treating these women as weak/helplessvictims does no one any favors!

@Ryo1 I do it all the time too ...mostly I laugh at the stupidity

Thanks for posting the video. It is alarming. I agree with these women that regulations, laws, and court cases are needed to handle the abuse and threats like hate speech, not like free speech. The abusers support a systemic hatred toward women. On Agnostic I and other women have encountered hate speech.

Here as well? Disheartening.

@Ryo1
I defend my point of view and then block the haters.
