As a woman working in the tech industry (though I am not a developer), I really agree with Amanda Blum's take on this situation. We are all damaged by events like this.

It's a prime example of what happens when we defend and escalate an uncomfortable situation rather than face it. Adria is definitely guilty of that, having taken the issue public so quickly. But I am very confident that the two men whose verbal comments prompted her response also allowed the situation to escalate before changing their behavior.

I'm pleased to see those involved address the situation directly, honestly and maturely. That's the only rational way to handle this sort of thing.
