Disabled

I”m tired and overwhelmed by Internet sexism. I switched from computers science etc to arts interests to avoid the worst of it and it seems to have followed me. I just looked up a harmless video of inky markers art tutorial on you tube as I can’t get to real art classes and the comments below are calling the young woman a c*nt and a dog.

All the other comments are from other girls telling her to ignore it and carry on but the emotional shock is already there by then. I’m too tired to shrug it off, and it wasn’t even aimed at me. It’s very triggering when you’ve suffered bullying yourself.

What the hell is wrong with so many males ? I’m now at the point I’m surprised when a man behaves politely to me, because I’m online every day since I can’t get out much, and it seems to take increasingly long to clear my head of this stuff. I certainly don’t do social media any more, but I easily pick up insults aimed at others.
The Internet used to be a relief for people who were stuck indoors sick, now it’s just wearing. If I were able to get out I honestly think I’d ditch the Internet completely.
