Addendum: it’ll also happen after 1.2 seconds if you keep hovering on the Learn More button (and watch the progress bar fill across). I should have added that in my initial comment.

We’ve taken it into consideration. It's designed for terms one is not familiar with, so “didn't” is kind of unnecessary. As a note here, though (also for others), it doesn’t pop up just from double-clicking text; you only get a small “Learn

I'll agree that there was some level of assumption involved, but it's pretty clear this was not "the same conference and same person" given that that doesn't make logical sense . How could she have been banned three times from the same con

It seems premature until you read the comments in her thread, wherein Tammy points out that she has received “an alarming number of emails” from other women who experienced the same or similar things. And while I'm neither a lawyer nor that

Here's an absolute for you: your nickname should read “anonymous dick” — you're trolling with a newly created account. How about you stop hiding, stop trolling, and start growing up?

Every single rejection from a girl in high school or a woman after that is a chance to mature. In fact, it's a nearly-spoon-fed opportunity to mature. Anyone that doesn’t mature at least somewhat from such scenarios is actively choosing n

1. Yes, there are always possible motives. However, unless you have some data showing there are more false reports of rape than truthful ones, or even that the disparity between the two isn't a night-or-day difference, that's not somethin

Here's some additional elaboration to X-Istence’s great point: 1 in 4 women in the US has been raped / sexually assaulted. Less than 30% of them actually reported it to authorities.

It should be worth noting here that the accused have every bit the opportunity to deny the claims. If a woman—any woman—were to absolutely falsely accuse some guy of having raped her in a very public manner (with or without having gone to t

There would be a lot less lonely guys in tech if it wasn’t such a generally female-unfriendly field in many areas. Also, there is a fair bit of overlap between the “lonely guys” and “guys causing this problem.”
