It is incredible that Adria is presenting herself as a kind of hero here. The problem for "women in tech" is exactly people like her.

really? that's the problem? it's not wide-spread societal bias against women and beliefs about a women's role in regards to science and career? Come on.
Yes sexism and witch hunt are the main issue and going after people who make jokes you don't find funny because they're guys is sexism and a witch hunt.
Would she have done the same if it were women instead of men ? I don't think so. It looks like a personal crusade against men.
And in this case you get all that because...? A dongle joke in the row before her...
Yeah. Super reasonable.
The problem is victimizing herself using gender as an excuse, in such a lame way. She's making more to harm women in tech than a dongle joke.
