Cyber violence is just as damaging to women as physical violence, according to a new U.N. report, which warns women are growing even more vulnerable to cyber violence as more and more regions gain internet access.
I’m not going to minimize sexism on the internet, but no, being called names on the internet is not the same as being stoned, beaten, raped or murdered.
This is part of a much larger move to control the Internet – by countries who want to censor dissent – the same countries that treat women the worst.
“women are 27 times more likely as men to be harassed online.”
Sounds like they are making up shit.
The neat thing about cyber violence is is you switch off your computer, you don’t know it exists. What is the UN policy on forcing women to dress in sacks?
Statistics can prove anything. 68% of all people know that.
Which is it? Are women the stronger sex that can anything a man can do but better or fragile little snowflakes that require constant vigilance to keep intact??
and marry their rapists?
More lies from the sinister United Nations who want to monitor the internet and a crinimal in the whitehouse as well as the crinimals in Washington D.C. This is Big Brotherism
In answer to your question, as approved by the UN and feminists.
Yes.
Yes, we are a still a member of this “thing”. If I were king, I would have used bulldozers to push that nest of sodomites, rapists, mass murderers, racists, and parasites into the East River long ago. Ask someone in the know how much the US and Canada give to these thieves each year with no fiscal accountability.
“”women are 27 times more likely as men to be harassed online.” Sounds like they are making up shit.”
I am guessing, since global warming is completely settled, that IPCC scientists now have lots of free time on their hands to manufacture and perpetuate even more fraudulent science for the purpose of engineering our societies.
I don’t agree that it’s “just as damaging”, but it is still a problem. The rash of teen suicides as a result of cyber-bullying is evidence of this, and girls tend to be more affected than boys.

Yeah but the real problem here is that young women/ teenagers wage psychological war on each other and they are more cruel than boys.
The internet made it easier to do it but it is not the cause of this.
Often the damage from those female psychological wars is worse than that of the fist fights of boys. This has been studied but of course the present culture buried those studies, it does not fit the narrative.
And once those women become adults they use their ability to wage psychological wars to persecute their husband/boyfriend.
The media and feminists can show us the photos of a woman with a black eye but no one can show the picture of a husband who has been destroyed by a cruel sadistic wife who is a champion at psychological warfare.
The day feminists admit females are as vicious and as violent as men are I will take them seriously.
I see this more as the UN’s foot in the door to stifle all dissent against their views on global warming , now better known as climate change. Watch it morph from hurt feelings to actual punishment for calling them out on their agendas. There are trillions of $ at stake and their dream of world government is so close they can smell it.
How many of these new regions are Muslim? I’m guessing it’s a moot question.
Show me a teenage girl who’s committed suicide due to “cyberbullying”, and I’ll show you a teenage girl who’s been showing her titties on webcam to random strangers.
Your comment is not worthy of a response.
It is the constant meme of the left that there are escalating scary conditions in this world that
their snowflake followers must constantly guard against. It is a wonder the Marxists haven’t yet
banned ghost stories because they represent serious and much more imaginative competition.
Further to the Climate Change meme…
I just noticed the new Ontario Ministry… The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. When did that get slipped in?
does this mean we are now officially in the techno world of remote tactile contact envisioned by William Shatner in his fiction novel describing suits with sensors and signals sent to and fro with another likewise clothed individual?
guess so . . . . . .
“girls tend to be more affected than boys”
As Canadian Friend commented, girls are much more vicious than boys when it comes to waging psychological warfare. Their arsenal includes, but is not limited to gossip, innuendo and isolation of the victim and can escalate to downright sadism. Whereas most boys are not averse to countering bullying with a little physical payback, girls not so much. Although I have seen instances where the victim has had enough and the punching and hair-pulling starts. Those out there who are firmly opposed to violence will probably be surprised that this usually ends the problem.
“warning that women are growing even more vulnerable…”
That’s all you need to read. Under the rule of feminist leaders, women are becoming perpetual, unthinking children.
@Canadian Friend: Absolutely correct. Young women are especially hateful to those outside of their clique. I saw it happen to my daughter who was chosen as captain of her high school swim team which did not go down well with a certain subgroup on the team (supported by their mothers no less!) it was hellish for her. It really opened my eyes.
Misogynist: A man who hates women as much as women hate one another.

So, although the article implies that the problem is men bullying women and references Canadian Feminist Anita Sarkeesian, a gamer and feminist activist whose claimed that men were bullying and threatening her, maybe the whole issue should be broken down by sexual orientation (including all the alternative sexes) of the “victims” and the “bullies”. It might be surprising………
These political/activist UN memes which seem to run from the wellspring of insanity are just calculated incremental erosions of our social/cultural bonds – done with the pure intent of collapsing our cultural values and personal morality to substitute the empty self sacrificial amoralism demanded by authoritarian global governance.
In this case The UN is floating trial balloons to see if we are stupid enough to let their control freaks at the free exchange of opinion – the idea being common words or verbage can victimize, and thus create a criminal intent with actionable consequence from the sledgehammer of state – edging us closer to Orwell’s “crime speak/Crime-think” dystopia. It is the pacification of self worth to an omnipoten interventionist authoritarian agenda – for God’s sake they want to criminalize calling an idiot an idiot – the victimless act of criticism has been distorted into a capital crime.
I know that idiocy this deep seems to be covered by my old friend George Carlin’s favorite response to morbid self-interest – “fxxk ’em” , but you know psychopaths never sleep and they will push this crap at us until life becomes a living bedlam – unless we give them a bloody nose every damn time they attempt it.
I have been of the considered opinion for some time that the UN has been hijacked by pathocrats, but seeing the new civilly restrictive constructs coming from this bureaucratic snake pit, I’m now convinced the people driving these authoritarian agendas are evil as well as psychotic – so are the SJWs who buy into this dystopian dream.
That UN woman is a spittin'(Haaawk Pitoee) image of Michelle O
Our current government wants to censor dissent – more than any other I have known in my 63 years.
Stats can says nay nay on suicide

Cyber violence isn’t violence. Getting hit, punched, kicked, pushed, stabbed, shot, etc. is violence. You can do a lot of harm without physically touching someone but it’s not the same kind of harm.
True. There’s a delete button and a off switch and all so called victims should learn how to use them. Failing that there’s the mental middle finger which I use often on CBC opinion articles. All of them work without fail on cyber bullying.
