Do you really need to use abrasive language like this to get your point across? This isn't Reddit.
>People acted angrily with the tools they knew best.
Yes, the people who were looking to get her fired did so, and succeeded very well. Do you seriously believe the female or feminist tech community has the resources to perform DDoS?
Take a good hard look in the mirror my friend. You're calling "take your head out of your ass" abrasive, but that is downright tame compared to the sexism on display in your presumption that female(s) couldn't possibly have the necessarily tools and ability to launch a DDoS attack.
Note that it doesn't reflect well on them. Part of their point is how they say it. To me, this says they're being reactionary and not mindful of others, which undermines their standing.
Bad language is a useful signal in communication. In this case, especially, it's a negative signal about the poster.
You don't??!
Another example of the glaring disparities between the sexes in tech.
