Facebook Hate Speech

The article, Facebook is fine with hate speech, as long as it's directed at Women, makes me wonder how men can get away with threatening comments but women can't? We're talking about rape, and these guys are defending themselves by comparing their comments to a joke in the pub. The guys down play the seriousness of the situation. You would also think that since the hate speech directed towards women on Facebook goes against the rules and regulation that they would take the pages down - Like they are trying to not make a big deal out of something that is. The founder of Facebook is male which makes me think that it would be different had a woman come up with the social network. The crude comments are far from entertaining.
