I have noticed a phenomenon on the Internet, that when a group of people want to press their ideological point, they go and down rate the statements of those whom they perceive to be in opposition. I used to wonder why why Amazon reviews on feminist texts were downgraded until I saw that it also happens on YouTube. It’s nothing to do with the content of the statements, which are rarely perused and not understood. It’s just the word, “feminism”, that people are reacting to. Mob mentality on the Internet perhaps ought not to take us by surprise.
