The UN - if you want to insist on using that fallacy - also thinks that Peacekeepers shouldn’t carry loaded guns, has been wrong lots of times, and UN Women has used such scientific sources as Google search suggestions in an ad campaign. The report is about “Cyber violence against women and girls”, with a handful of women presented as victims, hence “all these women”.

If women have been saying this for years, where are the other examples? All I can find besides the UN is a few women’s shelters. Google Trends shows the biggest spike in mentions of the term being right about when that report came out.

All of which is entirely secondary to the fact that violence is by definition physical. If you ask a hundred people on the street, the vast majority, if not all, would agree that you can’t commit violence against someone without physical damage. We do not have robots made to punch people over the Internet, as much as many of us have dreamed otherwise.

Unless you’re arguing that cyber-violence uses the second definition, and consists of people being angry on the Internet, in which case all of us are guilty.

Anyone old enough to be on tumblr has experienced the majority of brain growth and psychological development.  The older you are, the less words can impact you, the same way that learning becomes more difficult with age.  Grown women that are not already psychologically fragile from past trauma should not need “safe spaces” because they read a bunch of letters cobbled together on the internet.  The value of harrassment is being lowered in order to apply to situations where it doesn’t qualify.  Valid criticism, critique, and debate are all being reclassified as “harrassment”, as well as “sexism” and “misogyny”.  We are seeing this happen quite a lot in recent years, and it’s all just one of the many ways that women in first-world nations are privileged over men.  That is NOT representing equality.

I dare you to enter a shelter for victims of domestic violence, and explain YOUR definition of “violence” to them.  You are trivializing what it means to suffer.  If you make an erroneous or inflammatory statement in a public venue (which includes tumblr), and someone expresses their opinion of what you posted, that is NOT HARRASSMENT.  Also, I’m going to have to call bullshit that women allegedly experience so much more vitriol online, especially given tumblr’s fondness for generalizing and demonizing men, as well as online environments such as 4chan.  Also, in the 33 years that I’ve been alive, I have been through more bullshit at the hands of other girls and women than I EVER have at the hands of men.  Who spread rumors that I stuffed my bra in high school?  Girls.  Who spread rumors that I “slept around” and called me a “slut”?  Girls.  Women and girls have been catty and vindictive towards each other for DECADES.  Don’t even pretend that a huge portion of legitimate cases of cyber-bullying aren’t girl vs. girl, because those are the ones you hear about most often.
