Comments by "Mat Broomfield" (@matbroomfield) on "Chvrches lead singer Lauren Mayberry on misogynistic trolls" video.

I think that misogynistic comments are simply the easiest weapon that many people turn to against women, but hate speech/trolling is not exclusively a sexist issue. When it's directed at males, their sexuality or appearance are usually the go to taunts of choice. Whatever hurts is what is called upon, as warfare has always been waged. The sad thing is that the internet provides a foruim which appears insulated from consequences, but not from the emotions that go with these interactions. Personally, I welcome reasonable limits upon freedom of expression on the internet, and I would start with anything that issues threats direct or otherwise.
