re: #358 The Sanity Inspector

But then there’s nothing unique about commenters turning on the blog host. Steven den Beste gave up current events blogging altogether several years ago because, says he, his commenters kept crapping at him about what he posted. I think he’s an anime blogger now.

Of course that’s not unique, but there is something unique about the way women are treated. Especially in areas that are typically very male-dominated on the net; tech, politics, etc. The Walsh piece gives more detail on that.
LGF has a somewhat higher percentage of female commenters than the average political blog so far as I am aware, excepting only those political blogs that are specifically feminist blogs. So it’s a friendlier environment imo. We have many active and vocal female commentators for a political blog: higher than average.
