Not me. I got my first really obscene and abusive email the other day, but I
strongly suspect it was instigated by a pissed-off net-abuser. (I
complain to postmasters re ads and spam fairly frequently.) That's
after ... what is it, three years on Usenet?
None of the other women I know online has gotten harassed or
propositioned.
Anecdotal evidence is poor evidence, but it should show that not every
woman is harassed.
