Oh. I have no knowledge of any of this, but in my experience an anonymous, frustrated guy at a keyboard acts much differently than when in real social situations. If he had a GF, he would probably be a little pull toy.
I don't see this type as a frat boy. Keep in mind I became familiar with the term incel yesterday, so I'm catching up, but frat boys are more socially adept and acceptable. I see this type of person as a loner, outcast type, not a joiner. And please explain to me my privilege?

The privilege of having not encountered someone online who was abusive there & irl. It wasn’t an insult just an observation. I mean I’d argue that frat boys are not that socially adept and the way they can objectify women, form rape clubs..they’re misogynistic too >
-
Yeah, the number of times you would actually encounter an online abuser in person would probably be pretty small, I would think. Hard data to collect, especially if the abuser is anonymous. I agree about frats, they disgust me.

Are you male? Just curious because most women have met many abusive men by the time they reach 18. Both online and in person. It is hugely prevalent and always has been.
-
I am male and I know that abuse is common. I've had friends who told me their boyfriends hit them. The surprising thing for a guy is how often women put up with it. As often as I offered many levels of help, I was always told no. If my GF hit me that's the end of the relationship
-
I mean it would take a lot of tweets to really educate on this but basically that’s because the abuser has control and the most dangerous time in domestic violence relationship is when the victim tries to leave. Knowing you care would help but doesn’t nec translate to leaving
