@swev Cultural critique fills an important role in society, and that critique is a catalyst for change. The status quo fights the change 1/2

So, setup tweetdeck with columns for Zoe, Randi's, and Anita's mentions. Unfathomable treatment.

BTW - if you are standing up for harassed twitter users, try to un-@-reply them, to protect their TLs.

@swev @femfreq Your issue with Anita seems to be that she has a platform. Her "speeches" bring in people who can code and do value diversity

Apparently #gamergate is now about "the roles of men and the roles of women" and "when a Jezebel takes on a man's role in the world". ppl.

@Ectocooler_hi_c We disagree on your base presuppositions.

@PeterCornswalle You defend #gamergate and invoke God in the same sentence? wades in did you know Jesus -> major feminist in his time?

@Ectocooler_hi_c You're not interested in reality, I'm not going to try and unpack the mistakes in that question.

@dbounds Facebook? Aw. I thought it was indie.

@PeterCornswalle @TsheggSSNW @TechyFolks @femfreq Better give up your computer and compiled software, you have Grace Hopper to thank for it.

@Ectocooler_hi_c @RihaShane @miltday1 @TheQuinnspiracy Where was your outrage when Zoe, Anita, Brianna, Felicia, etc were being doxxed?

@PeterCornswalle @TsheggSSNW @TechyFolks @femfreq The 1850's called, they want their view of women back.

RT @PeterCornswalle: @TsheggSSNW @TechyFolks @femfreq Women are not suited to technical work like programming. Studies prove this to be tru…

@I3elmont @Brobuntu @freebsdgirl Paradoxically, there is safety in keeping those (harassing, abusive, sexist) interactions public.

@I3elmont @Brobuntu @freebsdgirl It's not bizarre. When you get harassed as uch as she does, anything that approaches "private" is bad.

@joshm @mathowie @moot @torrez Lurv the app icon/logo. So much love.

@I3elmont @Brobuntu @freebsdgirl Srsly? "Her passions are high?" This is downright Victorian. Someone grab the smelling salts.

@I3elmont Sometimes it's ok to not get it and still not invalidate another's experience. That's how we learn. "I don't understand, help me".

@freebsdgirl it would have to be a visual graph. No other way to track it. Crazytown.

@I3elmont Not gonna try to explain the deep cultural reasons why death/rape threats mean more to women if you don’t get it.
