Apologies, I could have been more clear.
What I mean is that I haven't heard of guys receiving death, rape etc threats accompanied by doxxing (ie 'this is his address, let's go get him') at the levels I've heard about with women[0].

That's similar to the situation with sexual harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence.
It's not that men aren't often the victims of these things (studies report that they are, at nearly the same rate as women[1, 2]). It's that men rarely report these things, and when they do, receive little sympathy, coverage, or justice.

Given the level of heat these discussions arouse, I understand the comments re modding in the item earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15507821
But what I'm doing here is drawing parallels between large groups of people self-organizing against a prominent, successful person.
It's interesting that (except for Adam Orth) the men involved, who were factually the victims of massive harassment, were portrayed as the villains by most of the media for minor infractions of progressive political values.
Edit: Just found another, an electoral college member who received death threats for voting for Trump (as he was required to).
