Can someone please tell me why quitting the tech community would stop someone from harassing you because you are a woman? If anything, you'd think bringing it

Can someone please tell me why quitting the tech community would stop someone from harassing you because you are a woman?
If anything, you'd think bringing it up to the community and get help tracking down the person would work better. That or public ridicule/shaming. Something proactive. I mean, isn't feminism about fighting back against these degenerates?
- div 15y agoNot everyone wants to go through this kind of battle against an anonymous adversary. I think she has the right not to have her decision to quit questioned. Just because she was the one being harassed does not mean she is suddenly responsible for bettering women's situation in tech.
- floatboth 15y agoShe quit a tech job, not the geek femininsm community.
- Aloisius 15y agoYes, but why would that stop this person from targeting her? If anything, her geek feministing makes her a much bigger target. I guess I don't follow the logic unless she believes this person is someone she worked with and even then, I don't see someone who is truly obsessed from stopping.
- floatboth 15y agoHer job involved speaking at conferences, I guess that's a big reason. She's not giving up.
