For the record, because I don't think it gets said nearly enough: I'm male, and I find the comments quoted in this post offensive too.
Personally, I find these comments offensive because of the premise they started from: that blaming the victim is OK for trolling in general, because they "took the bait". I don't find that acceptable behavior for any kind of troll.
I can understand where the logic came from (treating everyone the same), but that logic started from a faulty premise.
