Not to mention the conspiracy theorist positing that it might have been a woman posting the fake porn pictures. The mental gymnastics some people will perform to avoid facing the obvious truth are amazing. How can we solve a problem we don't all admit exists?

- bruceboughton 14y agoHypothetical is hypothetical. Why not deal with the real instance at hand?

- hopeless_case 14y agoYou don't know that the person harassing her is a man, so why assume it is?
- konstruktor 14y agoWhy worry about the meaning of the terms you use when there is an opportunity to call somebody who disagrees with you names?
- h2s 14y agoWell done you. It's about time somebody stood up for men brave enough to pitch improbable edge-case possibilities in order to anonymously undermine a woman reporting her experience of sexual harassment.
- konstruktor 14y agoIf you actually read TFA, you will notice that Sarah Parmenter is consistently using gender neutral pronouns to refer to the person(s) who put online those pictures and male pronouns for the guys wrote her inappropriate messages. That is very conscious use of language. Put that in contrast to the person who is calling somebody who is stating that the perpetrator might have been one (sic) female a ""conspiracy theorist"" and talks about "obvious truth".
- hopeless_case 14y ago>Put that in contrast to the person who is calling somebody who is stating that the perpetrator might have been one (sic) female a ""conspiracy theorist"" and talks about "obvious truth". all the while supposing that there is a consipracy among men to make women feel uncomfortable at tech conferences. If irony had mass, this thread would undergo gravitational collapse and form a singularity.

- hopeless_case 14y ago> Not to mention the conspiracy theorist positing that it might have been a woman posting the fake porn pictures. Why is that possibility not worth considering?

- davedx 14y agoShe didn't know who it was, did she? I thought that's what it said in TFA.
