Cybersexism is rampant and can exact an astonishingly high cost. In
some cases, the final result is suicide. Bullying, stalking, and
trolling are just the beginning. Extreme examples such as GamerGate
get publicized, but otherwise the online abuse of women is largely
underreported. Haters combines a history of online sexism with
suggestions for solutions. Using current events and the latest
available research into cybersexism, Bailey Poland questions the
motivations behind cybersexist activities and explores methods to
reduce footprints of Internet misogyny, drawing parallels between
online and offline abuse. By exploring the cases of Alyssa Funke,
Rehtaeh Parsons, Audrie Pott, Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna
Wu, and others, and her personal experiences with sexism, Poland
develops a compelling method of combating sexism online.
