"Why don’t I have a blog, or my own website? Because there’s so much harassment going on nowadays that I’m actually scared to put my thoughts on the internet."

"Why don’t I have a blog, or my own website? Because there’s so much harassment going on nowadays that I’m actually scared to put my thoughts on the internet." That is a really telling line of thinking. The author wants to be recognized for "doing more than writing code", but is not comfortable being open about her thoughts on a blog? How exactly should that happen? "Anne" put this on your blog -- you are better off with misplaced anger than no blog. "It’s a humiliating experience to witness that people have so much respect and admiration for an experienced male developer, but there’s no place for you because you’re female and a beginner." That has nothing to do with gender? Seriously?
