Final thought of the evening:
As is true with so much other *crime*, if we took violent threats against women seriously, and punished the people when they did it, we'd stop so many of the violent threats against everybody and everything else.
So many of these people, now banned from Twitter for inciting violent acts against the government have, for years, been using their social media to make threats, some veiled, some not even, against women. If you banned them then, you'd wouldn't have needed to ban them now.
And, while we're here, let's not forget that Trump has been accused by 26 women of sexual misconduct, harassment, or rape.

If that was a DEAL BREAKER for people, he would have been gone a long time ago.
Taking threats against women seriously is not a "women's" issue, it's a WHOLE OF SOCIETY freaking issue. I am MORE SAFE if people who threaten women are dealt with, my young BOYS are more safe. And so is everybody the hell else.
