Whether they act on them or not is another matter, but just going by the numbers, there are a lot of people who hate women enough to assault or rape them. These people are real, and terrifying. Though online may seem like enough of a buffer, there are many activists who have been doxed lately and suffered serious consequences. It is a sad reality in today's online world, and it won't cease until societal attitudes change drastically.

Edit: good article, by the way.
