FWIW, trolls don&#x27;t uniquely focus on feminists.  Their emotional buttons are just so easy to find and push; when your advocacy === your emotional button, then you are broadcasting how to make you upset.  If you are easily made upset, then you are self-primed for being trolled.  So, if you don&#x27;t like being trolled, then either hide your emotional buttons or change what happens when someone pushes those buttons.<p>The fact that feminists appear to be uniquely targeted by trolls is indeed the result of a societal structure, but it is not unique to feminists.  Instead, feminists are just another set of humans who are louder when they get upset.  People used to complain about so-called Soccer Moms being too easy to upset.<p>If you don&#x27;t like the trolls, then don&#x27;t feed them.  I had thought that people had learned from the vi-vs-emacs flame wars how to avoid unproductive drama.  Feminists spin their wheels by getting upset at trolls, just as vi users wasted their time getting mad when emacs users were not using vi.
