'MPs have launched a new parliamentary inquiry into whether sexist and misogynistic posts online are a warning that real life violence against women is to follow amid fears that chances to stop dangerous men are being missed.

The Women and Equalities Committee said the focus of its new probe into the “escalation of violence against women and girls” would be whether there are “patterns of behaviour” by men that indicate an increased likelihood to progress to serious attacks on female victims.'
