Why Do Female Journalists Get More Online Abuse Than Men?

[sp1814]

This is specifically related to one newspaper, but let's assume its not peculiar to just one publication:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/12/the-dark-side-of-guardian-comments

It's not something we see here on AB (the abuse is laudably non-sexist - everyone gets it)...but increasingly it would appear that if you are a woman and you dare to have an opinion online, you are fair game (cf. Gamergate)
