It doesn't really seem to me like many of these rebuttals actually read Arrington's article; they're just angry in general about the state of women in tech. Arrington very specifically said that by the time it got to him and TC50 or whatever, it's too late. All this railing about "male privilege" and "ambient un-belonging" is pretty much tangential to what he said.
- anthonyb 16y agoArrington's article is a big old whitewash as far as I can tell. On the one hand he's saying "I don't know why women aren't in IT, stop blaming me" but then on the other hand his comments are full of vitriol. Everyone who's commented expressing a differing opinion has been "flagged for review", meanwhile shit like this: http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/28/women-in-tech-stop-blaming-me/#comment-74688020 http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/28/women-in-tech-stop-blaming-... goes unchecked. Which is the point of this article: The tech world is a very unwelcoming place if you're an outsider (and sometimes even when you're an insider, which Michelle Greer apparently is).
- anthonyb 16y agoNice downvote - want to back it up with some argument?
