Are Angry Straight White Males Increasing Their Threats And Harassment Of Females?

See Gamergate is loud, dangerous and a last grasp at cultural dominance by angry white men: The outrage isn’t about ‘ethics’ or even really gaming. It’s about harassing women to protest the movement for female equality. It was by Jessica Valenti of the Guardian.

Here are the key questions for which Valenti supplied no data:

Has the percentage of straight white males committing crimes against females increased over time? Has the number of threats or level of harassment increased?

Are straight white males committing more crimes per capita against females than they used to? Are their more threats per capita?

The crime rate in the U.S. has fallen over the last 20 years. It might be reasonable to assume that crimes against women have fallen, too. I don't know that for sure. I think the relevant question is if the crime rate or violent crime rate against women is rising.

So without answers to these questions, we don't know if straight white males are doing more harm to females than they used to.
