The idea of misogyny as an operating system rather than just individual prejudice realy shifts how we think about online harassment. What stood out to me was how these attacks arent actually about debating ideas but about enforcing where women are supposed to be. The pattern is so predicable once you see it, from witch hunts to anti-suffrage cartoons to algorithm-driven pile-ons. Your point about how the technology changes but the political function stays boringly consistent is spot on.

They just want us scared and compliant, they'll use any methods that are convenient for that.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting. Good to know I'm not screaming into a void 😂
