I agree, I think this is where the "fishy"-ness I spoke of earlier comes in. Giving the benefit of the doubt to Coraline, there is definitely more at play than being rude in a few emails. I just feel uncomfortable jumping from an individual account to broadly concluding an organization is sexist.
- ivraatiems 9y agoI respect that. Personally, I feel that Github has a long enough history of mismanagement and poor culture that sexism and the kinds of issues this post describes aren't difficult to imagine at all.
- rndmwlk 9y agoThat's probably my disconnect right there, as I have not been following Github's cultural issues much at all. Unfortunate to hear.
- s73ver 9y agoThis isn’t the first time sexism has reared its head at Github, though.
