I'm fairly appalled by the bulk of this article and frankly surprised to see it on the front page of HN. There are some potentially good ideas that with some smoothing out could fly, but there's a lot of stuff that's scummy, if not illegal.
The biggest problem I have with this is that this post's intent seems not to be to advance equality, or even the role of women through the hacker community but to drive a wedge and almost treat the gender gap as some sort of war. In her post, men only seem to be referred to in negative terms (as with the 28c3 panel and references to naming and shaming men who may or may not have done bad things, as no burden of evidence appears to be needed), something that I find deeply unsettling. When someone puts something like this forward as an example of feminism, I see it not as feminism but as a form of misandry. If we want to do good things for women that's fine as long as we can do good things for men and accept our differences. But really, as hackers whenever we can we should be doing good things for everyone.
