[Gendergap] Sexual Harassment in Online Communications: Effects of Gender and Discourse Medium

[Sydney Poore]

Interesting article that supports the idea that women and men perceive
content differently.

The research found that "in terms of gender differences, women rated online
pictures and jokes as significantly more harassing than men."

We shouldn't generalize this to all people of a gender, but it is worth
remembering that at least some women are more uncomfortable with some types
of humor and images.
