    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.
