Well that says a lot about your basic lack of empathy and little else.

Hardly. It says that I have a lot of experience of life and what is worth getting worried about and what isn't.

You don't think a significant uptick in abuse, in particular towards women, is something to worry about?

Not really. The fact that many are women is irrelevant. Women are no less able to deal with abuse than men. Also, they're MPs. It's the territory. The spike's because of the ease of contact and the discourse of politicians and the media. Far worse things in society.

You should condemn what's clearly wrong regardless. The fact that other people suffer is no reason to not empathise with the clear suffering shown in this case. It IS relevant that women are being abused as they are the ones stepping down due to such abuse.

No I shouldn't. I happen to have spent much of yesterday reporting vitriolic tweets sent to Anna Soubry. But I also realise that it's not whataboutery to point out that there are people suffering far worse problems, many of them brought about directly by the actions of MPs.

Well you do you. I very much suspect and hope views like yours are and remain in the minority. Bye.

I do logic and common sense. You, apparently, do knee-jerk overreaction, projecting and snap judgement.
