Reminds me of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2938270 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2938270 That story started as a female blogger attacked for being a successful female in tech. It's an easy simplification. Meanwhile, I followed that story and it turns out (unrelated to tech, success, or being female) she was involved in breaking up a marriage (being the other woman) which lead to harassment from a Christian fundamentalist relative. While I have no doubt individuals can be hostile towards women in tech, I generally find posts from people heavily involved in a cause tend to re-contextualize stories to fit their narrative. If you read a blog post from feminists in tech you are going to read a post about how women are mistreated in tech. Which turns a story about an former partner calling up the work place to harass his ex girlfriend into an attack on women in tech.
