This might be a crazy idea, but if more men posed as women, women would feel less intimidated to participate, and douchebags would have less effect on the actual women in the community.

douchebags can profess their douchebaggery across the gender lines. Furthermore, douchebags can be of either gender. The only way to fight douchebags is to call them on their douchebaggery and to down-vote them into oblivion. Lets not fight evil with fake, Lets fight evil with real.
If more men posed as women online, they'd know how bad men are to women online.
define online plz

There are plenty of venues where this is true, i just dont believe SO is one.
