The examples included here are horrible. Not just the sex-shaming, but that too.

I'm far from convinced that a social media ban is the answer, but the comment is still well worth reading - especially by men.

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day

Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

@neil Yeah, I feel like offering men opportunities to improve and consequences for failing to do so may be more helpful here than a social media ban.

A grown man harassing a teenage girl online is unacceptable, but unfortunately that behavior predates social media.
