        @aral People wonder why women may be reluctant to speak or be visible in the web industry... it's because of that bullshit. Way too common.

        @SamanthaToy @aral The last thing women should do is let themselves be intimidated by geeks (who are obviously more intimidated by them)

        @ejpbruel @aral I totally (& personally) agree. But in the scheme of things the reward is just not worth the risk of the bullshit to many

        @SamanthaToy Some geeks just feel threatened by women. Especially intelligent ones. Don't let their insecurity become your own.
