So when given the chance to show the sexism she experiences, one would expect she would publish the most egregious and overt incidents. Instead she chooses two examples that are not even sexist?
How can I conclude anything other than this woman is full of crap? How can Apple address something that she cannot even identify?
- Tycho 5y agoImagine having to work with this person, and having them “network” with other staff in the workplace to scheme how to “address” such issues.
- Gunax 5y agoIf you doubt or question that sexism exists, that will be used as an example of sexism and hostility. Ive seen it a lot on HN--when sexism is mentioned, any comments that doubt it are themselves hostile. I am not trying to chase anyone away. If you want to tell me I am wrong and explain, go ahead.

- pempem 5y agoWithout dipping into this woman's specific situation; I wager the reason they get hostile is because it is continuously explained with studies that include quantitative analysis, qualitative, anecdotal, and longitudinal and yet somehow the question is always "well could you explain it again/differently/more thoroughly"

- krapp 5y agoI have yet to see anyone claim doubt that sexism of any kind exists. What I've seen a lot of on HN is doubt that sexism against women exists, from people who will then claim that sexism against men is endemic. It's that double standard that leads people to question the good faith of the premise.
