Great to see diversity on the list. I notice that gender isn't on the list of what you're looking for ("all ages, races, sexual orientations, and cultures"). Just an oversight or a conscious decision?

EFF calls this bill "a real first step because it creates meaningful change to NSA surveillance right now, while paving the way for the public to get more information about what the NSA is doing." They've got a quick analysi

If an overwhelming majority of observers report something happening frequently, and a relatively-small percentage report not seeing it, then what would you conclude? That said, I'm not sure I can remember the last time a woman told me

Most women in tech I know have multiple examples of stuff like the authors describe happening to them. Multiple guys in this thread confirm that yes, it happens and is observable. Remember that the authors weren't only talking about h

It is an uphill battle to become aware of the blinders and unconscious habits we all have. I was making suggestions (not chastising) assuming that you really are trying to understand, and are willing to make the effort even if it'

Yes, as a male, I see this behavior regularly. If you're not seeing it, it's statistically highly unlikely that you're not coming into contact with it. Reading and understanding feminist perspectives can help you become more

Looks promising! Looking through the toolbar customization, I couldn't tell how easy it would be to add a toolbar element that isn't one of the existing behaviors -- for example, a toolbar element to bring up an emoticon pallette

As somebody said elsewhere in the thread, Shanley is polarizing. You're saying that since you and others regard Shanley's approach as hostile, guys should disregard what she says. I'm saying that guys who want to help should

I've shown Shanley's post to quite a few women in technology (including some diversity experts) and they all think her concrete suggestions are excellent. [As do I.] So I strongly suggest any guys who really want to help read it
