Tech blogger Holly Brockwell received so much abuse after writing a column describing why she wants to be sterilised because she doesn't want to have children that the BBC made sure a security guard met her at the door when she went there for a Q&A. Brockwell, the editor of Gadgette, also temporarily deactivated her Twitter account after the BBC published her column over the weekend, due to the number of creepy, abusive threats she got, mainly from men, she told Business Insider today. Brockwell's article described how she chooses not to have kids, and that other methods of contraception are too invasive, or have too many side effects.
