I agree with you, in fact I clearly said that I don't like to do this kind of things. But this is basically everywhere now, with 2-3 keywords in Google is easy to be found.

I posted it because it shows how bad is this and how it has gone far from by being a simple "contrast of opinions". One of the 2 guys involved posted this online, I think this deserves to be discussed and explained.

And what is your take on the conversation? What am I looking at?

I believe she has a point when talking about how bad is the current tech scene for women. It's still a kind of "men club".

The environment is not friendly, it's getting better, but I can't consider it genuinely equal. In the opposite I think the way she's trying to pursuit the goal is wrong and counterproductive. There are many other ways to achieve a goal like promoting gender equality in tech scene, fighting with insults and expose (barely) fundamentalist opinions on Twitter would not help.

There are some problems with your post: when is it equal, when there's a % of women in it? Why do you think the tech scene is bad for women?
