Abuse against women online is so bad that a leading tech writer published that a woman who was recently doxxed was faking it.
-
-
There are so many layers to all of this....
-
This tech writer, himself a white man, is essentially calling the woman who was doxxed a liar. Because, you know, why believe chicks?
-
In publishing a story on a major tech site w tons of credibility, this writer is basically telling readers we shouldn't believe this woman.
-
Let's get something straight: they doxxed her and her whole family. Posted addresses, details not just about her but about her family, too.
-
In publishing this story, with major authority and credibility, this tech writer is actually putting this woman in even more danger.
-
But it's also had the added effect of rending many of us silent.
-
I'm scared to name the writer or the victim here because I don't want more people coming after me. I've gotten targeted enough on Twitter.
-
The tech community (as well as right wing fanatics and left wing fanatics, too) is succeeding in making women shut the fuck up.
