Many thanks in particular to Sue Gardner and Joseph Reagle, for their most insightful blog posts, which are linked. And there's lots of interesting stuff in the MicroMag on Gender and Violence, in which this piece was published: https://micromag.evidenceandinfluence.org/?issue=gender-and-violence Best Bishakha
