I don't really like this article, and I think it draws too many conclusions that are indefensible. However, I do think there was a great deal of misogyny associated with one aspect of this entire debacle: the DDOS on SendGrid. It's one thing to unleash outrage against Richards via social media (although posts threatening her with violence are disgusting and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law). But to take it to several levels of indirection and to target her employer with a DDOS to me is misogyny. Where was the outrage and the DDOS on Playhaven for originally firing the developer? The Internet Mob completely forgot about Playhaven's role in this entire thing, and clearly focused on Richards and wanted her and everyone associated with her to pay on every level they could. If I remember correctly, there was a petition that was asking Playhaven to reinstate the fired developer. There were no violent tweets to Playhaven or the CEO, from my understanding. There was no such petition to fire or reprimand Richards, there was only threats of violence and a complete shutdown of her employer.
