Alice Marwick revient sur les réactions hostiles, voire carrément terrifiantes, à l'égard d'Adria Richards après le Donglegate (*). Révélateur, selon elle, que la tech culture est misogyne, faussement perçue comme méritocratique, et de la montée de l'activisme masculin sur le net.

Goodbye.

Former SendGrid developer evangelist Adria Richards • Discussing how she's trying to move on from "donglegate," the incident that cost her (and an employee at another company) a job and led to the company she worked for getting DDOSed. Despite the incident, she's not trying to dwell and is working to create something positive from what happened—which, considering she got death threats and sexist messages in the wake of the incident with people who disagree with the way she publicly outed a man making crude dongle jokes at a conference, sounds like the only way forward.

This article was interesting to read since it talked about the legal aspects that could happen. Also, it seems that there was some debate about whether the situation with the jokes could be considered private or public.

This blogger added his two cents to the conversation and mentioned how he saw it as a bunch of double standards surrounding the issue.

There was a couple of commentors who were pointing out the double standards of the author and feminism.
