I'd watch this panel. I find that the way women are treated online directly correlates to how they're treated in the real life world. Technology seems to be male dominated (sadly) and I'd be interested in seeing how women find the tools to challenge this online.

In general, I think any woman whose voice gets too big ends up on the receiving end of some madness. Looking forward to this panel.

It's horrific how some men will act when hiding behind online anonymity. It says a lot about how far we still have to go. Truly looking forward to this panel.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing this issue to light.

Misogyny sucks in real life, and it sucks on the web as well.

A panel with such a relevant topic promises to be damn informative and interesting.

The invisibility of the web makes being a hater so much easier. Geeks are natural defenders of justice - they just need a panel like this to show them why that affects everybody's web experience and why it should matter to everyone, not just women.

I've been a reader of Samhita's for awhile now, and I've seen her in action in video format, so I know this would be a compelling panel. It's a topic that is rarely addressed by the tech community.

I have been waiting for a conversation on this for so long. Everyone will benefit from this conversation.

I would really really enjoy this panel - this will be my third SXSW and I think it's really necessary to bring the reality of gender politics into the conversation.

Unfortunately the wonderland of the Internet has opened up yet another avenue for stupidity and misogyny and panels like this are an important part of the discussion.
