I think the article should deal with the general lack of civility in general.  I have seen horrible things written in comments and even editorials about PM Trudeau, former PM Harper, President Trump, Jason Kenney, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Tom Brady etc., etc. 

It is not gender specific, or racial specific or political spectrum specific.  It is the general philosophy of not listening to opposing viewpoints and instead of debating these topics using logic and civility, it degrades into ad hominem attacks.
