My privilege as a straight, white, cisgender, middle class thin male

If we're going to get into a contest over who has more bad behavior, trust me, the Laci Green incident is just the tip of the iceberg. Remember Donglegate? An internet feminist overheard guys talking, publicly shamed them and got one of them fired for it. You want to keep going? Plebcomics is a webcomic that made fun of the more extreme SJW's and some of them got so offended that they called the creators employer and had her fired (the webomic is currently down, but you can do a simple google search for 'plebcomics' to see some of her stuff). Melody Hensley, internet feminist, claimed she got PTSD from twitter and when soldiers complained to her that she was devaluing the experiences of people who actully have PTSD from legitimately traumatic experiences (like being in combat or having a vehicle you're in explode), she called their CO to try to get them court marshaled. A pro-equality mens' group tries to have a speaking event at the University of Toronto and a feminist group turns it into a riot, ending with someone pulling a fire alarm, feminists cheering and then a bunch of guys being chastised outside. Meg Lankier-Simmons sent and anonymous rape threat to herself and used it as evidence that rape isn't taken seriously enough by her school and instigated several feminist rallies around it before authorities realized she sent the threat herself. A blogger using the alias 'Biting Beaver' publicly admitted regret over not aborting her son when she caught him looking at porn on the internet. And these are just off the top of my head.

Yes, a lot of people hate feminism and social justice on the internet. That's because there is a LOT of bad behavior in the name of social justice or feminism. So if you're going to pretend that everyone is hostile towards your little group, maybe it would be beneficial to try and figure out why everyone people are that hostile.
