What I Learned from the Fall of Ellen Pao
- draw_down 9y agoI noticed that the author pivots from the sexist discrimination that she experienced at the hands of other women, to frat boys talking about porn stars. Probably most would agree those are quite different facets of sexism. I don't think much progress will be made until we are honest with ourselves about how sexism works and who perpetrates it. Certainly it's all due to patriarchy, and works to the benefit of (some) men. But that is separate from the question of how it works and who does it.
