50% Of Online Misogyny Caused By Women

TL;DR: People are capable of being as bad as each other. Who'd have thunk it. As an interesting side note, you'll notice they've come to these numbers by using a very broad definition of 'misogyny' for some of their examples (which I disagree with). Even with this very broad definition they still only come up with relatively small numbers compared the total volume of tweets.
