[Off-Topic] 44% of Men vs. 37% of Women have experienced online harassment - Pew Research [x-post reddit] http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/10/22/online-harassment/ This seemed timely given the recent John Oliver segment. I saw his 100 vs 3.7 messages claim and thought that didn't seem quite right. The study those numbers were pulled from is described here. I don't have trouble believing it; some IRC rooms can be pretty damn shitty, I just don't think it is fair to treat them as representative of the internet as a whole. You could invert those numbers by looking only at Jezebel comments sections and your results would be equally uninformative.
