This really shows how bad this is if true. Feminists creating an environment in STEM where men in power will be actively discouraged from mentoring or offering opportunities to women out of fear of being framed for sexual assault.

I am all about gender equality, but it seems that the Feminist lobby is working against itself more than anything lately. It's sad, because it's a problem that needs to be solved, but not through these vitriolic means...

What is wrong with Breitbart?

They're pretty right wing, and some of their articles are questionably sourced.

In this case, the only source for their article is the ESR blog post. We came very close to the amusing spectacle of ESR blog commenters claiming that the Breitbart post was confirmation of the blog post, but the dude pulled back at the last minute.

"Pretty right wing"? Weren't they enthusiastically embracing the GamerGate crazy too?

Yup. Enjoy: http://www.breitbart.com/author/milo-yiannopoulos/
