- josteink 7y agoWe have enough example of internet-outrage caused by tech-guys treating tech-women as peers. That is outrage over "hostility towards tech-women" when what is actually happened was that guys criticized women equally as they would have criticized men. Even seemingly respectable organizations like the Linux Foundations have fallen prey to such nonsense fronted by (racist!) twitter lynch-mobs[1]. You'd think this be a pretty clear-cut case when considered objectively, but it has proven controversial, even here on HN. In such a climate, it is only reasonable to pro-actively guard against such accusations. The troublesome part is that it's seemingly needed.
