    Thank you, @teawithlemon, posts like yours make it all that much harder for men to speak out about sexism. Good job! http://laurasanders.net/a-primer-on-sexism-in-the-tech-industry-by-an-actual-girl/ …

        @aral Has @teawithlemon made it harder for men to speak out about sexism or does she just remind people not to make sweeping statements?

        @aral so you're anti sexism but pro aggression? I respect you dude but the .net article was presumptive.

        @zachinglis Aggression: Hostile or violent behavior or attitudes toward another. I think you need a different word to describe my tweet.

        Thank you @aral, sarcasm about @teawithlemon's post is helpful. Instead, let's agree that speaking out against crappy treatment is good. OK?
