Essentially the author is trying to put the male readers in a women's shoes. In other words, take every sexist tech story that's popped up in tech news in the last few months and reverse the pronouns.
It's certainly an interesting read, but not particularly well executed. There is a book called Egalia's Daughters[1] that does a similar thing in a much more powerful, primal way. Seriously worth a read.

- wamatt 14y agoOk but why should we care? I mean it's not like men are raging about the lack of male orientated pregnancy articles. I don't get it. Tech is male orientated because there are much more males in it. It make sense to then align the reporting towards the base.

- JanezStupar 14y agoI've had most of the events mentioned in the article happen to me, by women. I was also labeled as gay in milieu for turning down a woman. I was hit on by gay men in an extremely uncomfortable fashion more than once. I was also assaulted by complete strangers for no reason at all. I was also isolated and bullied by my schoolmates in kindergarten and primary school (boys and girls). And if I go and complain about it I will be labeled as less than a man. So why should I care? p.s.: Disclaimer. Since I grew big and strong enough to do it I also disallow any kind of improper behavior in my presence.
