I'm feeling sorry for the daughter. The poster is hard to take seriously, one mention of the harassment ("sandwiches"), at least three times he mentions "Visual Basic? Seriously??". He seems more concerned about language wars actually. So many people confusing programming and programming languages - the act and the medium. On top the "(violence and rape references)" that had nothing to do with the incident of the headline "To my daughter's high school programming teacher". This is a disservice to all people who work on more gender equality in tech. [Edit: As pointed out, it's a she. Thanks for pointing this out. Sorry for over reading this, I usually don't care about the gender of a person. Yes I've read the article very fast as it is 90% not about the headline]

  Thanks. The gender of a poster seems very important to you. It's not important to me.

    I actually missed the fact that the poster was a woman for the majority of the article.

Your post is the one that's hard to take seriously given that you continuously to refer to the poster as "he". Near the end of the article, she writes: "I'm a single mother working in tech publishing — believe me, I get it". My guess is you barely read it.

  Thanks. Sorry for attributing the wrong gender to the poster. Yes, I've tried to read the parts relevant to the headline because that was the reason for me to follow the link and skip the parts that described something else from the link bait headline.
