Re: Adria Tech Blog Thing

I think it's sadly inevitable that when something shitty happens and a woman complains about it, the woman is likely to get just as much backlash (and usually more) than the people responsible for the shitty thing in the first place. Seriously, this happens so often it's a depressing cliche.

Maybe she didn't handle it perfectly. But it's so damn typical to dismiss or try to discredit a woman's complaint because she didn't make it in THE EXACT PERFECT WAY, which hint hint, doesn't exist.

There's a difference between something being not the exact perfect way, and being an unbelievably passive aggressive childish way which gets people fired.

But it's a shame that inevitably people will come out of the woodwork to defend a woman's actions just because she got an indefensible reaction, rather then pointing out they're both awful.

I don't understand why they got fired. Maybe I would if I saw exactly what they said? Was it sexual harassment? I mean, stupid seventh-grade penis jokes just don't seem fire-worthy.

From her tweet "Jokes about forking repo's in a sexual way, and "big" dongles".

Which is juvenile, but barely passes muster as sexist unless we're saying anything lewd is automatically misogynistic.

Except, as she wells knows given her role, anything that draws undue negative attention to a company, and has the risk of exploding, runs the risk of getting people fired, and there's plenty that could be going on behind the scenes meaning someone might just be looking to fire the individuals in the first place.

Frankly, I don't blame her boss.

I know i wouldn't want this person anywhere near my business after she did something like this. This is the opposite of what a PR person is supposed to do.

So she shouldn't have done it, but that doesn't mean the people who fired them are absolved of all blame.

What a perfect example of what the previous anon was talking about. How dare she out someone who was acting like an idiot! Why, she should've just blah blah blah, etc. etc.
