It involved people I couldn't cut out of my social circles without dramatic sacrifice. Even getting rid of of him as much as I did without calling him a rapist cost me a great deal.

Not OP, but did write the article. I think everything you've said makes a lot of sense given the data set you seem to be working with, and that most people in the tech industry are very good. The incident in question was my talk at DEF

I don't know that it is more common in tech because I have only worked in tech. Does that make it OK in tech if it happens everywhere else too? Would that make you want to fix it any less if you knew it was wrong that it happened every

No I meant that I wouldn't have given two shits who he asked to carry heavy stuff. I'll edit it to make that more clear.

Would that make it OK here? If it happened any less anywhere else? Would that make you want to fight against a thing that was wrong any less? I feel like we all joined this community because we thought we could change stuff.

Fun fact: bringing a lawsuit against your company is not good for feeling like you're going to be getting hired places later: especially since I believe (not completely sure) you can only sue for punitive damages.

I don't really want to be the one to speak authoritatively on this topic because I can only speak about a very personal subject that happened to me and about what a colleague of mine told me under very strict confidence. I'd rathe

I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear that. Thanks for telling me!

I'm really sad this got downvoted off the front page (this article is only one hour old with 9 points, things 3 hours old with 9 points are still on the page). It's cool if not everybody is interested in talking about this, but I

I defined rape as the kind with the (bad) screaming and the blood, or tried to. I am aware that some people steal because they are starving but most theft I have seen was somebody who wanted to prove that they could do it. In the same way,

I was pretty shocked anybody in Silicon Valley was on that list. It seems career suicide.

Yeah I think people aren't pushing art styles in sidescrollers way hard enough. They're all weird vague pixel art things.

There's a Dojo nomad community, we hooked Kurt up with them when he arrived, you may want to find them. They're good folks and offer each other great tips. But, for the love of christ, please don't sleep in the Dojo ever, it endangers our z

(Katy here) I would super appreciate feedback on how to be less abrasive.

Yes, it makes the very demographic people are trying to reach out to the most feel very unwelcomed. It also means that many people never challenge their assumptions and the lady doesn't get to correct them.

I actually generally really enjoy the company of gamers. They may be funny people, but most of the time they're good people.

In a perfect world I would like to see this problem solved, and would have posted a solution if I knew one. I am super eager to hear solutions.

by bluehat 14y ago
Wasn't at a booth, and I'm not very comfortable with the solution to this problem being "dress differently." Also, lots of gentlemen are highly trained to keep their eyes up so they aren't accused of staring at boobs. I'm not sure if any of

When the guys were shouting, the rest of the crowd and security was frowning at them. It was really easy to see this problem was something everybody knew about, that good people had my back, and something we would solve shortly. It wasn't f

So I like the core of this idea, but since many gentlemen have been trained to not stare at a girl's boobs and make a great point of keeping their eyes up, I'm not sure if they'd read my shirt at all. It would probably have to be a differen

Hey guys, Katy here, just wanted to thank everybody for the support and super insightful feedback. I will continue to edit the post and post here with clarifications, mostly after work hours :) And yes, I know everybody's probably sick of g
