Parent article: OSCON keynote: Standing out in the crowd

is that I feel like any response that I make to anything from the "you're all sexists" side of the table, no matter how rational and well thought out or justified, is merely going to be construed as further evidence that I'm one of those nassssty sexists.

Ask yourself how I might have come to feel that way tonight...

Because, uh, you are? As far as anyone can tell from your comments,
anyway.

Either you're an old-style unreconstructed sexist or you're aggressively
defending sexism for some other reason. I have no idea what that other
reason might be.

Nope. I'm defending clear thought, and not using self-selected surveys to make your arguments, and y'know, things like that.

Or worse: not *caring* about the quality of the data you're arguing on.
