    Men aren't the only ones who make dongle jokes.

    That's a commercial, surely written by a man.

    I get that it doesn't seem like a big deal, and it's not on its own. But when you hear stuff like this (and much worse) alllll the time, it gets really frustrating.

    Just wanna take a moment here to remind people that you said you would laugh at your sister if she got raped.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Probably beaten on that one by days dude. Apparently her physical address is out there, and dongles are being sent (over the line, but funny nonetheless).

    Wow.... I'm one of the lightest people in my family going back to at least 4th cousins and I'm STILL blacker than her after 5 minutes in the sun. That woman needs to go outside if she wants to keep her race card. She needs to be given status as an honorary honkey. I'm quite frankly offended on behalf of the human race from some of those twitter comments. Who the hell is retarded enough to think that 2 men are going to rape a woman in broad daylight surrounded by hundreds of people in a 1st world country of professionals where the entire world can see them in retaliation for making a dongle joke?

    For what it's worth, pretty sure I missed some really fucking terrible shit she's had a hand in or stated (namely references to even more racism), as I came in fairly late on the last thread I caught on the topic. It'll probably show up on her ED page, if it somehow goes unnoticed/never gets a repost.

    I don't think this lady is particularly unusual and I don't think the fact that she's crazy and has a persecution complex really matters. I think the real problem here is that anyone gave two fucks what she thought about dongle jokes.

    Why didn't people just write this lady off as crazy from her first tweet? That's the worst part of this situation. I mean, what is the absolute worst case scenario about dongle jokes that the event organizers were envisioning that could have possibly justified removing people from a conference hall? Why they cray? Why is the guy fired?

    I wish I knew dude; I doubt there's much more to say that hasn't been said, other than it's some kind of terrible confluence of things being blown retardedly out of proportion.

    As to why anyone cared though? She has a following, and is notable in her field I guess (women in tech?); plus a fair number of her followers are apparently very vocal about the same kind of persecution/oppression they percieve (real or not). Sexism in the tech industry really doesn't have any bearing on the fact she overheard something and was ready to take offense.

    I know one thing though.

    That guy makes a good Riker.

    Whelp.

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...her-brothers-w

    The mother is the CEO of a debt collection company.

    http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2009/...fortune/8.html

    For $10,000 you get this reward:

    ROCK STAR REWARD LEVEL: At this level, you get everything from the previous levels plus a personal apology from her brothers and the satisfaction of knowing that you've not only started a career, you've also helped to fund future courses for her in computer programming for her along with more (and better) games!
    Edit: To add some context, she's basically using Kickstarter to raise money for her daughter to learn how to program in order to "prove her brothers wrong." While nicely motivated, this seems like it would violate Kickstarter's policy on a number of levels (project creator is not the person doing the work, minor doing the actual work of the project, promoting use of additional money raised for causes not related to the project). I think educational crowdfunding is something we're going to see become more common, but I don't think Kickstarter is the appropriate place to do it, and this reeks of exploitation to me.

    outside of the mother likely being able to afford funding this with her own money
