      At this point, it is pretty clear to most people that behaviors described in the blog happen frequently to minorities. (Just happened on twitter & reddit). My intention was to raise awareness, which hopefully leads to actions for creating a safe environment for attendees.https://twitter.com/yifan_xing_e/status/1065396554842935297 …

      A few comments on Reddit revealed how many people do not take this kind of issues seriously. And their thoughts are common & toxic & exactly why minorities are micro-aggressed frequently. We have a LONG (and difficult) way to go for adjusting these issues. https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/9ysz5z/making_conference_a_safer_space_for_women/ … https://twitter.com/yifan_xing_e/status/1064912032611352576 …

      My 2 cents — Reddit is a pretty aggressive community and you need a thick skin to engage even in seemingly innocuous conversations. And Twitter is a mixed community, with pretty dark places and people, like the rest of the Internet.

      This reminds me somehow of Kathy Sierra. Her blog "Creating Passionate Users" is the best thing ever. She stopped writing after receiving online death threads. Women, and minorities in general, can have a really hard time.

      This doesn't mean that you won't find support and it's good to speak out. E.g. I haven't said anything b/c I'm not sure what else is there to be said, except that I support codes of conduct and education on this issue. And I'm sure there are plenty of other people in agreement.

      I agree -- I don't really use Reddit and I've been mostly absent from these communities for awhile, but I think the article you and @eed3si9n wrote is exactly right. 👍

      Replying to @d6 @alexelcu and

      Just be clear -- are you saying that women receive death threats more often than men? And by what factor?

      Replying to @nafg613 @d6 and

      I think that regardless of the statistics on the frequency of the threats (I have no idea, and they're extremely hard to count due to underreporting), a threat towards a woman is a more credible threat of greater physical harm.

          there is research available which agrees with jon's point. here are some links: - http://time.com/3305466/male-female-harassment-online/ … - https://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/gender-society/internet-harassment-online-threats-targeting-women-research-review … - http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/10/22/online-harassment/ … (studies also show women face disproportionately high rates of violent threats compared to men.)
