I made it up to "this were all men" and "this isn't about me, it's about hatred of women" and I remorselessly closed the window as if I stepped into a quarrel that is none of my business. In my universe there is no such thing as "hatred of women" and the psychopathic misogynists are like UFOs. I keep hearing about them but I have never seen any.

dstoyanov, a few comments down, is not a bad example of them.

"There is no hatred of women" is like saying "There is no hatred of [insert other group here]"

If you want to find them, look for the individuals who repeatedly post derogatory comments and hateful comments under any post made by a female.

I think implying that someone is a "psychopathic misogynist" just from a single comment is a bit harsh.

Fair enough, he might also be a troll or a teenager - or, god forbid, both. I accept your rebuke, I was being unfair.

It seems like this could be a useful area for a honeypot.

Take photographs of a willing model (who knows what they're going to be used for); "dox" this model (release the images with fake details); collect information of the harassing people who send messages.

I'm not sure what you then do with the information of harassers.

Ploce in the UK spend a lot of time dealing with online a use. It might account for about half of all calls forwarded to frontline police.

All I see is a comment about being careful about where you upload your naked pictures. I don't see any mention of gender at all.

I'm not sure where you see a suggestion of hatred, of women, or psychopathy.

Sadly another site which assumes that USA equals the world.

I challenge the notion that online trolls are genuinely hateful, almost regardless of their target. They're just sadists who find pleasure in other's suffering.

I think it's horrible and these people deserve rehabilitative punishment by law, but it's silly to label it as hate, or, when the target happens to be female, misogyny.

What universe is that? One where all the foaming-at-the-mouth misogynists trolls have had their Internet license of abusing people protected by long distance and anonymity revoked?

The fact that you "keep hearing about them" should give you a hint. Women who come to the attention of a subsection of Internet trolls do find themselves harassed online (death threats, rape threats, etc.). See Gamergate or Adria Richards for recent examples. It's pretty well documented.
