Pretty much this 100%.  It&#x27;s not being a feminist or female specifically that makes you a target, it&#x27;s being seen to respond poorly to attacks and trolling. If it&#x27;s not feminists, then its furries, or otherkin, or bronies, or fanboys, or whoever else is seen as an easy target that responds poorly to criticism.<p>Ignore trolls, and they&#x27;ll (eventually) ignore you. Keep responding and baiting them, and you&#x27;re toast.  Same thing goes if you run a community.  Don&#x27;t want trolls?  Ban and move on.  Don&#x27;t turn it into a big dramatic deal and &#x27;war on trolls&#x27;.
