An algorithm could quash social media abuse of women

When a university (here Queensland University of Technology (QUT)) is spreading the propaganda and demagoguery of the day!

What about misandry (or the abuse of men)? You think this does not exist or happen? You better think again!

Claims of misogyny are gender discrimination in the extreme!
Claims of misogyny are frequently in the eye of the beholder!

Is this not a totalitarian attempt to control speech? Most likely!

Another wake up call to all men of the world! Beware the battle of the sexes! Women's empowerment is men's subjugation! Gone are the days of unreflective chivalry!

"Online abuse targeting women, including threats of harm or sexual violence, has proliferated across all social media platforms but QUT researchers have developed a statistical model to help drum it out of the Twittersphere. ... have developed a sophisticated and accurate algorithm to detect these posts on Twitter ...  to identify misogynistic content. ... “Take the phrase ‘get back to the kitchen’ as an example—devoid of context of structural inequality, a machine’s literal interpretation could miss the misogynistic meaning,” said Professor Nayak."
So if one woman says to another woman go back to the kitchen that could be identified as misogynistic?
