Why the Tech Community Hates Feminists

Alice Marwick (Photo credit: Scott Beale)

The first time I got intimidated at a Tech forum, it was done by a female moderator with username ‘Queen’ (aptly isn’t it?). I refused to give unnecessary private details and she started ranting like a god. I don’t have anything against women in Tech. I even give praise where praise is due (I’m now admiring the author of this piece, Alice Marwick, see?). But I pledged I will not ever be bossed around again by a feminist or any dictator.

‘The misguided focus on whether or not Richards was in the right ignores the bigger picture, which reveals a well-documented pattern of women in technology being shamed, doxxed, threatened, and harassed when they speak out publicly against sexism.

‘Sadly, what happened to Adria Richards tells women they’re only welcome in technology if they keep their mouths shut. There’s a big gap between geeks and programmers, and MRA-influenced trolls, but this incident demonstrates what happens when these communities overlap.

‘Unfortunately, the seller has fallen on hard times financially, and the precious audio diary — which has been kept in a glass box all this time — will hopefully help alleviate this burden. Given that the auction’s up to $1,675 as of writing, he or she has a pretty good chance…’

Best Buy Employee Saves Vintage Robot From Destruction
But he’s in danger of being fired from job
‘On Reddit, the employee explained that the robot was brought into his store to be recycled as part of the company’s “Renew Blue” program. Though R.O.B.’s production life span was short (on shelves for little more than a year in the mid-’80s), the employee had fond memories of this inanimate video game companion. But when he asked his employer if he could take R.O.B. home and spare him an untimely death, he was denied and told he would lose his job if he tried to abscond with the robot.

‘But the employee (who goes by the unfortunate Reddit handle “ipoopinthesink”), wouldn’t take “no” for an answer, he hid the robot in the Best Buy warehouse as a stalling tactic while he took the story public. He shared pictures of the soon-to-be-recycled robot…’
