This social issue is tied with IT, HN and communities/companies alike. It shouldn’t be flagged because it’s hard for many, it should be talked about. Women in tech are treated like second class citizens.

But maybe i spent too much time in tech social media and I see those patterns regularly. Eg. Abuse woman online, if she starts talking about it, discredit her skills, and try to humiliate as much as possible, presenting it as a snowflake kind of attitude.

All of this is typical “nice guy” kind of shit.




This is not an issue tied to IT any more than it's an issue tied to a corner store gas station. You cannot regulate morality.
