      Men as Likely to be Harassed Online as Women. Gender differences most profound in perception &attitude @CathyYoung63http://reason.com/archives/2017/07/18/men-as-likely-to-be-harassed-online-as-w/ …

      Particularly interesting that whilst women were more that twice as likely to report being very upset, no gap in negative life impacts.

      I wonder if 'upset feelings' could be measured objectively, how much difference there would be. Probably some.

      But how much comes down to a gendered difference in willingness to admit to feeling upset? Even to oneself.

      And whether 'upset' itself has gendered connotations. I have seen it used in the US to include a wider range of emotions than in the UK

      I see it used to include angry as well as tearful, shaken, sad, distressed more in the US. And it is a US study.

      But if we see the sentence 'The way s/he spoke to me really upset me', do we imagine this to be more likely to come from a man or a woman?

      In my experience, it would be much more likely to be a woman whilst a man more likely to choose 'tougher' words. Pissed me off. Got to me.

          I'm certainly concerned about current feminist 'victim' narratives but doubt this difference primarily a feminism-induced cultural construct

          Which is not to say that we should promote the idea that women are less able to deal with words online & should be protected from them.

          Women are also known to cry more & suffer from depression more. Yet men are more likely to commit suicide. Early stages of research suggest

          that crying is a very useful tool to deal better with negative emotions. Emotional tears seem to contain different chemical make-up.

          Could be that women have more negative emotions, but also better equipped to deal with them & not in as much need of protection as ppl think

          IIRC, men more likely to *succeed* at suicide b/c they choose more lethal methods (e.g. guns vs pills) Women more likely to *attempt*.

          Ws wrtg follow up tweet but too early & nothg makes sense. IIRC women try kill self at 2:1 male r8 but male attempts succeed at 4:1 female.

          Such cases can also be symptom of BPD. Not of depression. So would be result of different emotions. But agree, not unimportant.

          Its probably different forms of harassment. I get extremely sexual threats/comments. My male friend gets insults/violent threats
