Yup. People are generally quite shitty, but not because of gender. That doesn't mean they won't use gendered language to be shitty (because that's a more natural way to be shitty), but it's about the same amount for both.
There was a study, might have been Pew, but I can't find it.
Apparently a Pew poll came to similar conclusions. The only area in which women reported significantly worse harassment was regarding stalking. On the other hand, men were almost twice as likely to be physically threatened. It really seems like a wash to me.[1]
