Consider that, if you've been blocked by someone for "just asking a simple question", it wasn't just a simple question.

Your question doesn't exist in a vacuum.

The "just a simple question" was so unpleasant that the person would rather block you than communicate.

Maybe think about that for a bit, and have some self-reflection on your own behaviour.

(ESPECIALLY if your response to being blocked is then to carry on in the comments of their post about how they blocked you)

And, of course, cartoonists are adding to the commentary, including Nick Anderson, whose "Men, let me tell you about the warrior ethos" cartoon is featured by by Gene Weingarten.

Online misogyny isn’t just fringe — it’s baked into the architecture of the internet itself and, increasingly, serves as a powerful political tool."
