Throughout the book, Rebecca Solnit makes a strong case that links silencing women with more extreme forms of violence. In one essay, 鈥淭he Longest War,鈥� she compares the extreme harassment and threats made by proponents of Gamergate with the violence of the Taliban. She writes:

鈥淏oth are trying to silence and punish women for claiming voice, power, and the right to participate.鈥� (p.30)

Do you agree? Why or why not?
