In fact, it's true about women, in general. These people are cowards who bully those they believe to be "weaker," namely women. As a woman, I can tell you it happens in all of life - subtly sometimes, but still true. Danny, while I don’t have “proof,” I do believe it’s true. In fact, it’s true about women, in general.

However, you may find the following article interesting...from Terry Heaton's blog which discusses how Memphis tv exec Peggy Phillip was driven from the blogosphere by threatening speech: http://www.thepomoblog.com/archive/the-tactics-of-peggyblues/ However, this is the kind of thing where there probably isn't hard research because that's just not how things are done in the blogosphere. But, the discrimination against women at conferences, esp. at tech conferences, is widely known (actually, if you want number, just look at the speaker rosters and do the math.) The women who started BlogHer (the women's blogging conference) have made it their mission to get more women at tech cons (which is, in part, how I ended up at SXSW Interactive on a panel on civility in blog conversation last year. the other part was knowing Nancy White, who knows I've been interacting for a *really* long time.) If people who are journalists are looking for "trollish" behavior, they should check with the folks who monitor their forums. They can probably tell them a lot. hey Danny….I don’t think there’s any research about the problems that women encounter with various forms of threatening speech on blogs.

"Only" rape threats. Read <a href="http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2007/03/26/death-threats-in-the-blogosphere/" rel="nofollow">my post</a> again.
