I agree with you, but this post is not helping that. There's nothing here discussing how women can get into tech. It's incredibly disingenuous to scream "but women in tech!!" every time an issue like this crops up. This is an account of one person's experience with another person, not an objective look at sexual harassment in tech.

Instead of discussing the issues that prevent women from joining the tech community, you want blogposts about how to get women into tech. Is that accurate?

No, we should discuss issues, but it needs to be done constructively and objectively. Maybe someone writes an article that gathers all of these stories and analyzes them? If an article like that was posted, we would have something concrete to discuss. There's nothing to discuss here except the finer points of how this one particular person sexually harassed this other person.

They did that first: http://jacobappelbaum.net/ <-- 10 collected accounts from people that Jake has sexually assaulted.
