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

158. slandering a man

is an outrage. (It is not in fact slander. It is speculation) is the worst thing you've seen in five years, but making charges against the woman involved is perfectly acceptable. Do you think about what you write? You and everyone else have trashed the woman but that's perfectly fine because, well, she's only a woman. Good grief. Or do you really not care that it's obvious you are insisting that men deserve greater standing under the law than women? Smear a woman all day long, people threaten to rape and kill her, you have no problem with that. Suggest there is likely another reason for this guy's being fired in this guy's background, particularly when Recursion who knows this community has been told that is the case, that's an outrage. But threatening to kill and rape a woman, no problem.

And completely ignore the fact the woman never communicated with his employer at all. But you will blame her for firing and that's not slander. Blame her because that XX chromosome makes her evil, Never mind the fact that she didn't fire him; his employer did. But don't let that stop you from smearing the woman's reputation. It's not like she deserves any consideration. She's only female.

Good god. You couldn't be any more transparent.
