The old "With those clothes you deserved to be raped" meme. On Lwn. Disappointing.
And that you might get harassed more at a dance club is totally irrelevant. For one you can justify *anything* with that argument. For another you're less likely to need to go to dance club to shape your professional live. Although its a sad, sad thing to accept harassment just because you don't *need* to go the place where its happening because it doesn't directly shape your professional life if you're not going there.
Btw, I know several people who don't go to dance clubs anymore exactly because of harassment. Now translate that to the IT Sector...

This guy "slashdot" has been disappointing forever, and reinforces my belief that (in the general case) it's not worth reading the LWN comments of people who aren't paying for LWN.

I respectfully encourage you to do some more correlation analysis before doing anything so drastic.
