 What percentage of the anon trolls out there trolling women are other women acting like men?

I bet it's more than 50% 
 And, the fucked up thing is men get all the blame 
 Women's lives wouldn't be fun if it weren't like that 😆 
 on this here protocol? hard disagree, aint nowhere near 50. 

on other bird app, agree. 
 Ran Roya off the platform 
 Human nature doesn't change just because you use a different social protocol 
 not saying it doesn't happen, i am saying that I don't believe 50+% of woman-targeting-trolls on nostr are other ladies pretending to be dudes.

could be wrong on this, but i feel like the gender breakdown is somewhere like 80M / 20F at most. 
 You haven't watched Mean Girls, most of women in these social circles were raised watching this movie 
 We didn’t watch Mean Girls and think damn I want to emulate Regina George. It was a social critique on a phenomenon that existed before the film. Just like men compete with other men. Women compete with women. I’ve yet to interact with a troll presenting as male on here and think it’s actually a woman behind the keyboard. I have dealt with npubs presenting as women and think I’m pretty sure that’s a man behind the keyboard though. I’ve encountered both male and female trolls on Nostr. Men and women troll differently online, just like in real life. 
 No one wants to be her, but they'll become her to protect their perceived territory

But, you're still only guessing

People possess the ability to write in diffent voices, if we weren't fiction novels wouldn't exist

Nothing changes, highschool bulling just doesn't go away

Especially, when their no accountability or repercussions 
 The way a male novelist writes women is very different than women write women. Even painters, sculptors, etc their artwork of women is very different than what a woman creates. A friend and I have a game in art museums where any art depicting women we say from a distance if we think the artist is male or female. Haven’t been wrong yet. 

Just like with artwork, trolls have little tells. 

So far the only issues I’ve had with women on Nostr are the ones obsessed with Dorsey. One of those I believe to be a man pretending to be a woman obsessed with him. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
 Most people aren't that perceptive 
 Wow. Maybe it is. 
 Yes, women can be very caty, passive aggressive and mean 
 Trolling is such a waste of time & energy for ones life. A behavior that rottens the soul. Dear trolls, go find the miracle of your own life… ✨ 
 Yes, only jealous, bitter people engage in that behavior
