Why don't I get these? I did once from an enraged fundamentalist Christian & one from a fake account set up to make a point about it.

I think the closest I've ever had was a tweet from someone who thought I was too pro-Muslim and wished for me to become an ISIS sex slave

as a woman, I've gotten rape threats and threats to expose (nonexistent) nudes. I think it's legit to find it scary, but...
-
...also BS for women to claim that men don't get threats. Often different kinds of threats, but still scary stuff.

And men are more prone to being murdered. Arsehole men exist & present different threats to men & women. We tend to focus on the women.
-
I certainly don't want to diminish the experiences of women but I do think we focus a bit too exclusively on them as victims.
-
I do agree with that - men do get more death threats - but, as a woman who's had a stalker, I do realize how seriously it should be taken.
-
Yes, absolutely. Not suggesting taking threats against women less seriously, just taking threats against men more so.

I get told I'm fat & ugly but more often by women. It's not as tho I don't piss off misogynists regularly.
