Toxic Femininity - Social Media And Cyber Violence

Twitter has a problem with toxic femininity. Yes I said toxic femininity. - According to a new report released by UK think tank Demos, women are responsible for 50% of misogynistic and aggressive tweets. This comes as a shock to many prominent feminist who had previously spoken publicly about their experiences dealing with misogynists (male misogynists) online who had made it their business to intimidate, threaten and ultimately silence the women they preyed on. - According to the report, 50% of misogynistic and aggressive tweets were sent by women, while 40% were sent by men and 10% were sent by users who's gender could not be identified.
