Feminism? What?

So the REAL reason Atheism+ came about was because the women were feeling victimized. Some idiot did something stupid while drunk at a conference. Someone said "I'll rape you." in some Modern Warfare 2 lobby to some girl. Some internet trolls sent death threats. And women are now living in constant fear of being raped and murdered. Through Xbox microphones. Or something. And all of a sudden all of the atheist world is taking sides over this issue. My response is kinda two-fold over this whole thing.
1) Do all women really have it all that bad? Compared to everybody else?
2) Why are isolated incidents that happen to women just milked for weeks and months for the emotional drama?
3) Now I know on one side you will be white knights who truly see women today as worse off than pre-abolition African-Americans.
And there are others who see women as the privileged class.
Is there any common ground to be found here? Any compromise? Any attempt to at least see and understand the other point of view while disagreeing with it?
