> I am genuinely confused why you think a large portion -- if not a commanding majority -- of women in tech would not self-identify with "geek feminism" According to YouGov, 23% of women identify as feminist, 5% are anti-feminist, and the rest are neither. Your opinion is probably skewed due to overrepresentation of feminists in media. http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/tabs_gender_0411122013.pdf http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/tabs_gender_0411122013.... > I can only hope people will either learn how to be nice people, or decide to leave tech and be mean somewhere else Nice people don't try to force identity politics down everyone's throats. Your comments are the ones that are "toxic".

Do you think 23% of women is not a "large portion"? Let's imagine that only 23% of women care about being called "she" instead of "he". Do you think it's "forcing identity politics down everyone's throats" for them to ask to be referred to by their preferred pronoun? Because that's what we were discussing here. The anger this has engendered in you and others here is truly stunning.
