2. Don't use the internet to judge what the real world thinks

I feel the same way when I see someone post something from reddit, tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, etc and say "SEEEEE!!!! All fucking men are misogynist creeps who live to harass women on the internet!".

The most vocal and socially inept people are drawn to the internet as their soapbox and stage to act like assholes. Men, women, left, right, Christian, Muslim, atheist....on and on. At the end of the day, they are assholes. All of them.

My best advice is that if you come upon a site where that shit is tolerated, don't go there.
