Indeed, but many other women experienced none of that because, while it may have been sexist, non-gendered nicks were assumed homogenous with the group (ie male).

It really was a lot more about what you brought to the table than identity.

But the other side of that is that potential targets of harassment can't bring all of their experiences to the table. Many people who didn't experience harassment still had to self-censor to avoid attention.
