Donglegate, and why we don't have more women in tech

100. She handled it wrong. But that's not being a busybody, which means interfering in

someone else's business. It wasn't someone else's business, since he was speaking to the crowd (if they could hear it). She was perfectly in her right to say or do something about it, but I don't think what she did was the proper thing to do. After all, what he said wasn't THAT big a deal. He wasn't saying something personally about her.

But you know, you never know if he intended for the women sitting in front of him to hear what he said. That's happened to me before, where a nearby male says something offensive, and I know he said it that loudly because he wanted me and other women to hear it. Intentionally being offensive. Some people get their jollies that way. Esp in a traditionally male environment where maybe some males don't want women horning in on their meeting...you never know.
