I’d check the linked articles if I were you. Some of the women were subjected to very coordinated and determined harassment campaigns over a long period. In many cases these campaigns appeared to be coordinated by members of far right groups who are known to use violence. Comparing that situation to your being bullied at school is almost as silly and offensive as the OP’s original comparison. By all means point out that Mexican journalists are in a much worse position that women who are harassed online. Everyone here agrees with that point. But a death threat is a death threat. It’s not “name calling”.
