I am sorry, is that supposed to be funny, entertaining, insightful or what? I honestly don't get it, probably because of my poor language skills. What little I understand seems to hint that (the few) women (that grace our geek caves) can also be offensive to themselves.

She is tired of people attempting to somehow elevate themselves by being pendemic, exploiting issues, and creating drama over what really mostly amounts to oversights and misunderstandings.

It's annoying behavior and very intolerant of others. (I am not saying that the author or blog or anybody here is guilty of that. The article I link pre-dates this article and is a general thing, not specific)

I dunno; thought it was pretty well written and insightful about everything, myself; perhaps a bit combative, but that perception might be in the reading instead of the writing. :-)
