Thanks for posting this - it was very good. Well done too to Jennifer Shahade for saying male players get abused as well. Obviously everybody should be protected from that.

I am not sure that misogyny is the main problem, it may well be more about bullying in general. Of course, bullies aim at those they perceive as weakest...
