They keep claiming that but I never see any solid evidence for it. A few noisy trolls on the internet is hardly representative of the whole.
It's like the fundamentalist Christians who claim there's this giant bias against Christianity; they feel like everyone hates them so they go out of their way to find that hate. If you look that hard for something, you're going to find it whether it's there or not. Trust me, if they wanted to find sexism and rape threats within a feminist conference, and they looked for it this hard, they would undoubtedly find it.
