The blogpost series you link is actually quite good overall, however the whole "social justice in tech" framing the authors are taking is unhelpful in the extreme wrt. this issue, to the point of being reckless and perhaps actively dangerous. It seems to flow out of a sort of fallacy of composition, wherein it is assumed that every single instance of individual abusive behavior will be flowing along commonly-acknowledged "structural oppression" lines, almost as a matter of logical necessity. Not so!
