And you're talking to Unitarian! I've interacted with plenty of Quakers, and I have to say I'm a big fan. I didn't mean it as a personal attack, I'm sorry if came across that way. I just don't think it's fair to characterize the feminist movement by what happens on twitter. I'm not at all familiar with the 'geek feminist' movement, so I appreciate your insight. I completely agree that the whole Adria Richards affair was overblown by everyone involved, however it doesn't seem like that's a typical response. What do you think is the appropriate way for women in technology to create an equitable workplace? Is not speaking out when genuinely offensive behavior occurs really the right way?

So happy we found common ground! That's how it's done. Women must assimilate, not dictate. (Here goes the old "in my day" lecture:) we had to learn how to tie ugly scarves around our necks as tie substitutes....tacky...so ya loose a little dignity here and there, but what you gain, if you stay on TASK! is the respect of your coworkers, and 'power' flows from there. Don't sweat the small stuff:) wanna see what i mean, UGLY scarves:) http://www.rustyzipper.com/womens/scarves/1970/ http://www.rustyzipper.com/womens/scarves/1970/ I would prefer to hear cursing anyday!
