    “researchers did not take into account the details of internet activity” seems like a pretty big hole in the study…

      Probably means they didn’t take into account the fact that boys were just blasting people in online games whereas girls drowned themselves in social media? I reckon it’s nothing to do with actual gender and more about what those genders spend their time doing online.

        As a girl who spent time in MMOs before social media was even a thing…

        it was all the casual misogyny. Girls can’t go to (online) games for a release, it’s misogyny everywhere.

        This makes a lot of sense. Video games is interacting with actual people online and I think exposes many more facets of people, than social media where everything someone posts is curated to show only the best parts of themselves.

          As they say, you never truly know someone until you frag them
