Thank you for speaking up and speaking out. The tech communities continued ability to pretend that sexism doesn't exist within it amazes me. Rape is rape is rape. A huge percentage of women *HAVE* been sexually assaulted in their lives. Most of them have never reported it. Pretending that their experiences are not real, or that it 'wasn't rape' because they were dressed in a certain way, or because they were drunk, or whatever ridiculous excuse rapists come up with to excuse themselves is incredibly disturbing. That its actively happening within the linux community doesn't surpriseme, though it does make me sad and concerned.
