(3,753 posts)... but, as I mentioned in another response, Facebook does require your real name. And I would imagine that any cretins that did dox a woman could be just as easily tracked down and prosecuted for such behavior.
I'm just thinking out loud, I guess, about to how to combat these malicious turds, but it may be like trying to turn the tide with a teaspoon; there'll always be lowlifes like Fuentes, Tate, and Kirk who are irredeemable skid marks, and whose rhetoric validates the mental defectives that follow them. They make me ashamed to be a man. Make that an OLD man! I'm just a year and change shy of 80, but I never tire of learning, especially learning how to be a better person.
I'm certain that the anonymity afforded by fake names emboldens and enables such wastes of skin, but maybe if that mask was ripped away, such cowards would think twice. But that assumes that they are capable of actually thinking at all.
