Hate speech against women is often context dependent. There's the problem with not only simplistic monitoring systems, but also with simplistic, tough-guy get-over-it thinking.

Woman bashing is linked to sexual/power thrills for men, so it is a much more complex issue. Communicating about the problem is difficult because of the sexuality link.

Just my contribution to the analysis.
