Not sure -- do you see the five panels?

Yes, I see 5 panels; you got it right Hamlet.
But did Nylon get it right?
Have you seen a survey, or had personal experiences, that boys who "hate women" role play as female avatars in virtual worlds?
What I've observed is they play obnoxious men, who crudely hit on female avatars, or avatars they think are female in real life.
On the other hand, men I know who play females, don't seem to hate women at all.
