yeah it is a shame when headlines lies about what happened to pretend "tech culture hates women" >She was harassed at a tech conference >Bier and a small group of about 10, [...] grabbed dinner together on Jan. 31, during the weeklong conference. Then they hit up a bar called The Three Monkeys, not far from the Hilton conference hotel in Midtown Manhattan. >Bier was standing at the bar when she was suddenly faced with a man who, she said, seemed very drunk >Cruz allegedly took out a knife from his pocket, held it to Shimmy's throat and threatened him >Fed up with what they see as their industry's tolerance of men's transgressions and predatory behavior wait what? tech "culture" condones drunk dudes at bars who pull knives on people?

Did you deliberately omit that part? >Since the conference ended in early February, many women have taken to social media, detailing precarious and threatening situations they were forced to navigate in between the conference's speeches, vendor events, receptions and private parties. Their consensus is that the problems extend far beyond Legalweek It's the context of your article quote >Fed up with what they see as their industry's tolerance of men's transgressions and predatory behavior. You make it look like it's about the single incident only and not about the experiences of multiple women.

> yeah it is a shame when headlines lies about what happened to pretend "tech culture hates women" What should the headline say? I don't see any place in the headline that says tech culture hates women. The article goes on to say she was harrased and other people are speaking up as well. >>Fed up with what they see as their industry's tolerance of men's transgressions and predatory behavior >wait what? tech "culture" condones drunk dudes at bars who pull knives on people? Do you really think anyone speaking out about this is based on one incident? I'm not sure what's offending you, but if you've been around conferences, bars, and people enough, none of this is hard to imagine.

  According to a strict reading of the headline, no, it's not claiming tech culture hates women. Also according to a strict reading of the article, no harassment took place at the conference venues. I guess all is well with the world, a strict reading supports no other conclusion.
