Thank you. I agree. Pithiness and nuance are not friends. My preference overall is to focus on good vs bad behaviors, plus best practices, without drawing larger conclusions about individual moral worth.

You are putting words in my mouth. I said nothing about wanting silence. My position is that we need to focus on prevention, not retribution. But when it has happened, the victim's first duty is self care, not falling on their sword t

Please stop this. Throwing the victims to the wolves and not caring if they end up dead over your concept of justice is heinous. You are talking about additional ways to victimize them.

This is a monstrous position. It should not be on the victim to be held responsible for the perpetrator's subsequent victims.

Abusive men often target women who have been previously abused. A woman who has been previously treated badly may not readily recognize a nicer expression of sexual interest. They still have sexual and emotional needs. So, they hook up with

I think so. This is the comment I mean. fierro: I feel like this is kind of silly. Anyone could make a reasonable estimate of your salary based on your job, which is easily discoverable. At least enough to make a decision "should I ro

I don't think whether or not that is true is relevant to the point of her own statements about her own mindset about the matter. My point speaks to mindset and how that influences choices leading up to the incident. I blogged about it.

I understand where she is coming from, but I don't know that I can explain it effectively. Even trying to do so tends to get me accused of blaming the victim. To attempt to explain it: One of my criticisms of Cheryl Yeoh is that her BA

She was propped up between two of my friends, walked away from the scene, and looked after for the evening. Both of those guys will have my undying respect for what they did that night. Yes, this. The antidote to bad men is good men. It d

Then it would probably be best to just let this go since you have suggested it is not the time or place for it anyway.

I wasn't seeking debate. But I do find it ironic that you and angibrowl, both white men, expect to be listened to when you critique the moderating staff wrt to diversity, but you (in specific, because anigbrowl has not weighed in here)

Paul Graham is originally from the UK. I believe Dan Gackle is Canadian in origin. Patio11 is a white American male living in Japan. Jacquesm is Dutch. Tokenadult has an Asian wife and has lived in Asia. My impression is that the forum is f

FWIW, I don't cosign this critique. Personally, I don't feel any need to know how many women are on the moderating staff. That question has not ever crossed my mind as an issue for me, personally, as a woman posting here.

I don't believe this is going on. I believe most sexism posts get flagged by users, not downmodded by moderators. I strongly suspect that many users flag based on the title, without reading further. Most of the sexism focused pieces ar

I don't have any problem with being proven wrong. You haven't proven anything I have said wrong. You are merely being contemptuous and not engaging in a good faith fashion.

If anyone is overestimating that, it would be the GP to which they are replying.

You are cherry picking. You did not reply to these parts of what I said: It has been documented that when a job becomes a predominantly female job, society tends to pay less than when it was a male job. The crux of the issue here is that n

It is also very comforting to know my affairs are all in order. If I get diagnosed with cancer tomorrow, I'll probably order up a large satchel of illegal narcotics, invite some friends over, and go on a wild adventure until I die. I

You are taking my remarks very graciously. Thank you for that. I don't mean to be a bear on such topics, but sometimes I come across that way. I posted the announcement that I was off the street to HN and it very, very quietly got upvo

We want to reward value creators enough that people try to create value. And yet, those who don't (or who try and fail) shouldn't be left completely behind. One of the problems with this statement is the assumption that poor peo
