I don't think anyone, with good or bad social skills, should have to deal with this crap.
As a community we have to set the norm, the expectation that this just not ok. For people just entering the community, they may have different norms (coming from their fraternity - or what ever) but if the people around them set the proper example they will pick it up soon enough. Stories like this are needed to help us get there.

- ckoning 14y agoThe two are not mutually exclusive.

Of course not, and I didn't want to give any impression that my statement endorsed the behavior. Rather, I think that it might be more productive to focus on encouraging people to develop greater social skills rather than framing it around male vs female issues. We tolerate too much elitism, condescension, and dismissal of others' feelings in general, which directly contributes to the sexism problem.
