This is getting ridiculous. There are so many sites to attack, why Github?
"The sight of her male coworkers leering at a group of women in the office was the last straw for Github’s first female hire."
Take a workplace with all-men, and due to sheer probability you're going to get a lot of leerers when any number of women walk in. That's really a bit unfair of an assessment. I'd like to see what happens when an attractive man walks into a workplace that is all-women.
I wouldn't have made that comment had I known that DDoSes on GitHub were not uncommon.
I've been in this situation a few times and it makes me feel incredibly terrified.
The point is that it should be acceptable in either circumstance, not that you shouldn't complain about what happens in an majority male environment because something analogous might happen in a majority female environment.
