It’s not advanced math and rigorous training that keeps women out of STEM. It’s sexist shirts. Watch feminists break the stupid meter.

    I just have to chime in on the whole #shirtstorm issue, since I do believe this is the single most stupid thing I have ever heard a feminist utter and we all know feminists are capable of breath-taking levels of stupid. But this really does take the cake.  From an article published on The Verge :

  I don’t care if you landed a spacecraft on a comet, your shirt is sexist and ostracizing

  Yes…

"Tout comme les masculinistes qui rejettent avec véhémence la simple suggestion que les hommes puissent être responsables de certains maux de notre société, les technologues doivent clairement faire savoir que tenir les femmes pour responsables du sexisme est inacceptable."

Alice Marwick revient sur les réactions hostiles, voire carrément terrifiantes, à l'égard d'Adria Richards après le Donglegate (*). Révélateur, selon elle, que la tech culture est misogyne, faussement perçue comme méritocratique, et de la montée de l'activisme masculin sur le net.

*reads about "Donglegate"*

...

NOPE.

I'M DONE.

There's no salvaging the word "feminism."

The idiots win, they can have it.

Goodbye.

What happened at PyCon has cast a spotlight on a range of deep issues and problems in the developer world. As ugly as this situation has become, all of these issues have reasonable, and, I think, easily reached solutions that will help us cast conflict aside and construct a more cohesive and welcoming professional environment based on respect, trust and open communication.

Former SendGrid developer evangelist Adria Richards • Discussing how she's trying to move on from "donglegate," the incident that cost her (and an employee at another company) a job and led to the company she worked for getting DDOSed. Despite the incident, she's not trying to dwell and is working to create something positive from what happened—which, considering she got death threats and sexist messages in the wake of the incident with people who disagree with the way she publicly outed a man making crude dongle jokes at a conference, sounds like the only way forward.

This article was interesting to read since it talked about the legal aspects that could happen. Also, it seems that there was some debate about whether the situation with the jokes could be considered private or public.

This blogger added his two cents to the conversation and mentioned how he saw it as a bunch of double standards surrounding the issue.

There was a couple of commentors who were pointing out the double standards of the author and feminism.
