> What if she wasn't being "passive aggressive" and just wanted to sit there! ...day after day, staring at her, after a weird out of office interaction where she was openly aggressive? The wife was obviously trying to intimidate her and you seem to be the only individual trying to deny it. > If you're standing up against a female well you're not helping the women cause. Women can be sexist bigots just like men. > Geeks [...] are different than the sexy attractive guys that you see on TV. Geeks can be sexy and attractive too. Also: unsexy and unattractive guys can be sexist bigots too. Perhaps even more, since they might subconsciously want to backlash for their lack of sexual attention. > We're men building shit! You're exactly everything that's wrong with this industry. We're not men building shit. We're people building shit. You even intentionally left the girls out of the geek category! How do you think a woman will feel welcome when you tell her to shut up her concerns since "we're men building shit" and she's pretty much disturbing your work? How do you want her to feel she belongs with us? Let me guess that: you don't want to! You say they keep repeating the same fairy tales, but you seem like no fairy to me. - PS: I actually think this whole fiasco is not about sexism and she has disproportionately overblown the issue as gender warfare while it's just corporate politics. I just had to point out you are being sexist.

Why expect people to behave the way you want them to? If you don't like where you're sitting move, other people are not responsible for how you feel. Again are you a mind-reader how do you know what her intention was? "Geeks might subconsciously want to backlash for their lack of sexual attention" wow, you have it backwards, not seeking sex by geeks does not mean they're secretly seeking it! Reason you're a geek is because you're dedicated to one thing and spend lots of time doing it and ignoring other things, because everything else has a lower priority. Many "outraged" women in tech and people like you don't seem to get that, it's not a reflection on those women it's a reflection on us. We are men building shit. I am a male I am in tech if I could've make that more specific I would have. You have no right to impose on me what specificity level I wish to use in my speech or writings. You are right I am not a fairy I am real and I will stand up to this non-sense every time I see it. And hope others here are not intimidated by people like you or outraged women in tech or New York Times articles or complete crap pieces on Tech Crunch.
