Prominent GitHub Engineer Quits, Alleging Gender-Based Harassment

This shows why it is best to ignore women's complaining from the start.

Github has bent over backwards for Horvath, and it only fueled and enabled her delusions.

This "gender based harassment" was most likely someone disagreeing with her that Github did not need to be feminism 24x7.

Is this a satirical post? I cannot imagine anyone writing this in 2014 and actually believing it.

Read the whole thread, it's rampant with sexism and victim blaming. Typical for a HN discussion about anything related to gender issues, really.

How can you believe or not believe without any information at all (that applies to both sides here)?

Sometimes our society recognizes a problem. It becomes a sensitive, emotional topic. Racism, sexism, all real problems.

And when a society is in this sensitive state, some formerly (or even currently) oppressed people take advantage. The oppressors become the oppressed and the oppressed become the oppressors. It's a real thing, and it's quite natural, if undesired.

You don't know what the situation is here. I don't. No one commenting from aside knows.
