Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot, as this pattern of misogyny isn't just a new bug in AI sistems but a deeply ingrained feature of patriarchal society that technology simply scales up.
The connection between everyday harrasment and digital abuse is so powerfully drawn here. I've noticed the same pattern in tech spaces where casual sexism gets dismissed as joking around, but it directly enables the bigger stuff like deepfake abuse. Your framing of how men need to step up and call out other men realy hit home for me.

Totally! What we excuse as humor, emboldens others to dismiss and act on
Well said Sanjana! Always happy to speak up for what’s right, and put toxic men in their place
