Re: Women are just as likely (or more likely) to be assholes to women online.

That's an interesting study, but I'm not sure that it justifies the conclusion that "women are just as likely to be assholes to women online". It sounds more like women are just as likely to be assholes to women online when you're specifically talking about beauty and body image. Those are not the same things.

The tweets were not specifically about beauty and body image. They focused specifically on the words 'slut' and 'whore'.

Not... not in the thing that they said about the study from Dove that I was replying to?

Sorry, I should have italics quoted it to be more clear, but that's what I was talking about there.

I would also say, about the study you're talking about here, that it is interesting but it's also a specific study and no single study should be used to draw an absolute conclusion. And I think that when you're talking about gender on the Internet the more interesting question is going to be patterns of behavior and structures of interaction and what kinds of experience people are subjected to. Obviously neither gender has a monopoly on being assholes.
