The "kill yourself" comment is the least inherently gendered one, you're right.
The thing is that it appeared on a blog about sexism, therefore it is sexist. If it appeared on a blog about homophobia, it would be homophobic. If it appeared on a a blog about racism, it would be racist.
You just ignored the other comments and the context and tried to say: "This one comment isn't inherently gendered therefore..."
My question is: Therefore what?
- Nadya 11y agoThis article is in response to a previous article. In which she openly complained about a 1% experience. >In my experience, 99% of men and women in the tech industry are decent and genuinely well-meaning people. And 1% of people are terrible people. The end. If I wrote an article about how awful a minority of women are in the tech community to LGBT I'd be harassed by a number of feminists and an even larger amount of trolls. But I'm a realist who knows terrible people won't be going away anytime soon and don't let the few vehement assholes ruin things for me. She's shown that 1% of a population can cause her enough frustration to write an article. Queue the trolls. Give them attention and they'll come.
