I'm guessing they're saying that "women working in the industry don't get rape threats for working in the industry. Women who do get rape threats are women with twitter accounts"

Maybe that's true (I don't think so), but like you said so what? It doesn't make it any better.

One thing that's often missed is that it's not only men making the death and rape threats - one of the people jailed for threats against Caroline Criadoperez was a woman. It'd be interesting to see what portion of the "troll"[1] population is women.
