He wasn't talking about the field of the women, but of the harassers. Yes it does changes things if the harassers are primarily non-STEM, given this is Hacker News. What are we supposed to do about the culture outside our field?
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoWhat matters is that the harassers are beholden to no one. They have no HR dept. to give them sensitivity training.

- ummonk 8y agoWe work to lock them out of our field, by outing them, blacklisting them from tech events, refusing to take their money, etc. We don’t need to indulge outsiders trying to make a quick buck off our community if they don’t leave toxic behaviors at the door.
