Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

I empathize but what does she want? People are assholes. They're assholes on social media and they're assholes everywhere else.

“Bop” stands for “been over passed”

No, it's not. It means "a good song".

Nothing on UrbanDictionary, nothing on even Google. What is this nonsense?

Sexual equality has ceased to exist online.

It never existed in the first place, so there's that.

Anyway, yeah, internet bad. Time to ban all sub-16 children from Social Media. It's been long overdue.

In no way discounting her experience, but it's almost like she's a woman and not a man and she sees things from the woman's perspective.

It's a cruel reality, and without having to do a battle of the sexes comparison, everybody gets this bullshit, regardless of gender identity or sex.

Ever been a man and walked into a woman's online space and see the bullshit that goes on there, the horrible accusations, derogatory dialogue? Ever been falsely accused of sexual impropriety by a woman who's just looking to hold power?

People are assholes, and when you go on a platform filled with assholes, they're going to be assholes. Solution, stop going to those places and live in the real world.
