Here’s a late-breaking scoop from the New York Times, courtesy of op-ed contributor Amy Wallace: female journalists and bloggers are often the target of vile, sexist attacks. As Wallace writes, this kind of vitriol “seeks to intimidate and, ultimately, to silence female journalists who write about controversial topics.”
Of course, conservative women who write about controversial topics have known this for a long, long time, as Twitchy founder Michelle Malkin demonstrates.
It's only news when *liberal* female journos are called prostitute & the c-word. https://t.co/znFZFBUhwO @NYTimes @MsAmyWallace @GQMagazine

Of course, those searches would pull up only the most recent attacks. Malkin has been cataloging the war on conservative women for quite a while.

Oh really? @msamywallace @lynnembo @nytimes The dbl standard you've held in ignoring intimidation when aimed at conservatives IS an issue.

I truly appreciate the few libs who've spoken up over the years in calling out misogyny against conservative women in public life.

@msamywallace The problem is liberal women sanction it with silence when conservative women are the target. @michellemalkin @nytimes
