I would like to see the actual numbers that support the researchers claim. The reason I say this is because the researcher is only referring to online threats. The growth in access to the internet, as well as platforms that allow said threats to be directly directed to said politicians has dramatically changed over the past two decades. Thus changing sample sizes of the population, which can significantly skew results.
What about threats against Redford? That would be the closest comparable to see if its more driven from more of a political basis or a gender basis.
Ralph Klein was in power pre-social media, Prentice was in power during this social media era however for a significantly shorter time frame, both of which effect sample size.
