Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn just turned online harassment into a woman's problem
#7
Samu man, I get what you're saying, but I don't necessarily see it like that. Fact of the matter is, this is an issue that openly affects any given individual on the internet today. Its not an issues of gender. Its an issue of bigotry.
We don't agree with people who do such things, but to be divisive in whosoever should be seen as a victim is discriminatory and draws from the same line of bigotry. The problem with this is the same problem they're trying to deal with. They think that there are people who unjustly target them. Their response is to make this about them.
They're discriminating against every other individual who suffers from the same problem by making it a "woman's problem" and not a "human problem". Its a needless distinction that ultimately leads to needless tension and arms the individuals you are actively campaigning against.

The other issue is, this really won't accomplish anything outside of ulterior motives. Bigots will bigot. That's just how it is. That's not going to stop. Why, the very basis of "bigot" in itself is such a loose term that it can be all encompassing based purely on emotion. The problem is, anything that ends up happening affects everyone else. Its like DRM for pirates. Pirates are still pirating. DRM doesn't do anything to them. It just makes it harder on everyone else.
