The UN is now joining the cause: http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/24/9392067/united-nations-cyber-violence-against-women-report-tech

One positive aspect of Gamergate, the abusers self branded and rallied around a name. Their thoughts as explained in the Why are you so Angry series was that the name would help them blend into a crowd. This time it's had the opposite effect, shining a spotlight on the abuse and the tactic of hiding in crowds shouting "ethics in game journalism".

Women may have equal rights to men in many countries, but they certainly don't have equal experiences online. I'm glad to see an organization like the UN recognizing this, and speaking out about it. Denial of this being an issue, or scoping the issue to seem unsolvable does no good towards addressing it.
