Also if a man did this, it wouldn't even register on the internet's "burn-the-hypocrite" scale and I would actually be able to read something else on HN.

- vor_ 14y agoI don't really think this is a worthwhile route to go down. Someone could very well argue that if a man took a woman's picture because he overheard her making a vagina joke, it wouldn't have gotten any serious attention at all. Adria's complaint was taken seriously, at least by the conference organizers and the employer of the man who was fired, because she was a woman, and women are most often the recipient of sexism, especially in tech. Therefore, it's vital to take a stand against those who exploit that attention through their own cynical motives.
