Me to KP: You keep repeating that she represents all women.
You to me: Odd. KP said the opposite.
Are you trolling? Let me quote KP:
If she [Adria] didn't proclaim to represent us then it wouldn't be a problem to me.
and
She [Adria] said she is speaking for women in tech.
On what planet are these statements the opposite? I quite literally quoted KP's claims verbatim.
And why did you post that random <blockquote>? Was it supposed to prove that Richards said she was speaking for all women? Because in what you quoted, she doesn't actually say that.
- lake99 13y ago> Are you trolling? I'm afraid I must decline to join you on that. But I'm glad you quoted KP, and astounded that I should have to point out the following to you: "proclaim to represent" and "said she is speaking for" is just not the same as "represent" and "is speaking for". I could proclaim to represent the queen of Mars. That does not mean that I do represent her. The bit I quoted, constitutes "to speak, act, or be present officially for another person or people". That's what "represent/Verb" means, according to an Oxford dictionary. A bit later, Adria challenges Mark, "When was the last time you spoke up at work or a conference on behalf of someone else?"
