I was responding to the poster who said she was uneducated.

Personally I thought calling her a cow was extremely unfair as well. I've heard cows say much more insightful things than she does.

Given Corbyn, the SWP's and Momentum's reputation for bullying, I
whether ignoring or actually doing it, I am glad you raised what is a serious issue on the Corbyn thread.

However, private text messages, even poor taste ones, are not the same as bullying.

I'm not, plus I've never really had people threaten to rape me, outside of this forum, for expressing a view. Where as plenty of women I know have had unsolicited dick pics, and of course there are those who have had rape threats just for saying something vaguely controversial.

Women, online, generally experience a less 'gender friendly environment'.

Are you including Mrs T in that indignant outrage? Possibly the most vilified politician of modern times, irrespective of gender. Didn't hear much from The Guardian then, did we?

There is clearly a difference between what women experience in the way of "bullying" and what men experience. It is gender dependent in that sense. However what is unacceptable does not change. It cannot be right to actually threaten someone with harm. It is likely to be unlawful in any case. I'd have said that the law looks more sympathetically on women in cases of intimidation.
