Nice victim blaming you got going there. Always the same bullshit on HN. Like clockwork.

  I'm sorry, but she is partly at fault. What she essentially did was maintain a diary with all the raw details of her private life, only she did everything in public view. That's naive. She did not warrant what actually happened to her, but it was doubtlessly naive.

    It may have been naive, but you lost me the moment you said she is "partly at fault".

      She is because of her irresponsibility. Radical feminists would make horrible information security consultants, now that I think of it. "Risk management is oppressive. Don't tell me to set up firewall rules and ACLs, tell crackers not to enumerate my services!" Is the concept of personal responsibility and analyzing the situation really that hard to comprehend for these people? You can't just scream "YOLO, I'll do whatever I want!" and expect to be unharmed.

        I find it quite telling that you grasp at the "radical feminist" label instantly on being called out about assigning her blame. I'm male, and frankly tend to get on the wrong side of even quite a few moderate feminists for my views. But I find it outright disgusting when it is somehow ok to label it as "irresponsible" for a woman to write openly about sex. I've known many women who have written openly about sex, and while all of them have run into unpleasant situations, none of it has been so bad that I would label them as "irresponsible". Brave, perhaps. Admirably tough for sticking it out. Frankly, while she might very well have been slightly naive, for my part I doubt I'd have expected that something like this could happen. Some of it, sure. The milder stuff. But for it to keep spiralling so out of control with no action from authorities, no.
