You're missing the point. We're not so much worried about "the industry losing brain power" but that collectively, as a society, we treat other human beings that way. No one should have to go through any of the things the OP writes about, and if it's happening in our community we have an obligation to find a way to stop it! I'm a guy and I'll admit, before I read that post, I thought that this whole gamergate thing was two sides over reacting and generally just being stupid. I'll also say that I'm not in the whole subculture, I have RL friends and spend most of my social life there, I occasionally drop into hackernews to catch cool articles... I'm often baffled by this whole subculture people talk about.
