Dig a bit on
the web. Recently several
women in tech went public on how they are treated by
you, males.
that is a very stupid remark. it's also at least a hundred times
more sexist than the image that caused the original outrage. i've actually followed the whole discussion of
sexist aggression on
technical conferences quite closely. and i refuse to be summarily
condemned together with pimpled 20 year old jerks who suddenly
realize they somehow missed puberty, just because i happen to be of
the same gender.
