  1. @BorisReplies how do you know my bag is easy to grab?
  2. .@boris @BorisReplies ever been pickpocketed? It's a lot more than just an inconvenience.
  3. .@Boris furthermore, ever considered that your tone itself is condescending? "damn phones" "damn purses"? Is that tone really necessary?
  4. .@Boris ever considered women keep phone in bag as more secure & they don't want to be pickpocketed? slow to retrieve is cost of security?
  5. @Boris well, the truth is that women often don't take advantage of opportunities, but the whole "purses" bit is rather patronising.
  6. & re http://bit.ly/374Q9H, sometimes women don't grasp opportunities because of lack of confidence or different priorities, not laziness.
  7. there's a kernel of truth in this post by @boris, but it's so very poorly conveyed: http://bit.ly/374Q9H
  8. @irinarempt really makes you wonder, doesn't it? *sigh*
  9. saddest thing about the Yahoo! apology for the lap dancing is the comments. shows how far we have to go. http://is.gd/4vqlF
  10. @elmyra oh yeah, way pissed off about that. again. pathetic.
  11. @serengetisunset it's saddening because it's objectifying women and sending out a strong 'unless you're cute you don't belong in tech' msg
  12. @thecapecoder that's kinda not the point. it's the idea that us women aren't worth anything if we're not hot. its sexist rubbish.
  13. oh, ffs, another "hottest geek girls" list. i don't think i have the energy left to be angry. it's just pathetic, really.
  14. ah, you know a blog is a success when you get known trolls leaving their bile. comment gone now. ip ban to follow.
  15. @demew yeah, he is deeply unsettling.
  16. .@demew reading it through again, i'm reconsidering. that's a nasty comment.
  17. wow. "MikeeUSA" left a hugely misogynistic & defensive, comment on Finding Ada. Tempted to let it stand as proof of why we need FA et all.
  18. please lend your support to Rosemarie Reed's film on Ada Lovelace http://is.gd/3YBWe write a letter of support before end October
  19. RT @KathySierra: S'times we argue 4 more women in tech ("women CAN code hard stuff!") while devaluing non-coders. Like design & docs r EASY?
  20. fabulous, and brave, post by @cupcate about bitchiness in tech: http://is.gd/26nxr something i've seen too much of myself.
