I think it would be very easy to draw conclusions from this piece if you get a few paragraphs in and either fill up with rage or smugness, but it really is worth reading all the way through before commenting.
It's impossible to write a piece such as this without any hints of bias and/or privilege, I think Steven has done a great job of looking at a lot of the recent incidents we've had around gender in tech, and trying to pull a common thread out of them.

It's a very interesting article, and obviously well thought out and well timed, and makes lots of very good points. One thing that particularly resonated was this statement at the end: > The most reasonable people are now afraid to speak their mind.

But I'm not the only one saying it, so I'm doing it here, once, > in full length, with honest citations, after discussion with people of > experience. Women and men, in case you're wondering. > "Good luck" was a common theme. It'll be interesting what the general take on it appears to be, once the internet has reduced it down to a couple of choice quotes for each side to rally behind.
