> The top 2 money recipients are 2 feminists which have never seen a line of code in their lives (one of them doesn't even have a github account!). Ashe and Shanley? Ashe is a prog…

Since more recently published court documents have shown this to be a sexual assault / rape and domestic violence arrest, some statistics are in order. Particularly relevant is the…

Depending on your proportions, some necklines might work better for movement or fit. Like, high necklines on a rectangular t-shirt, if you're well-endowed, have a tendency to creep…

I do #1 backwards because LinuxChix was my introduction to the world of online tech communities.

I like to non-verbally snark, by breaking people's brains. I wear long skirts all the time, and sometimes I cover my hair. So I must be traditionalist/conservative, right? No, I ju…

Or one sexually inappropriate comment, one "fetch me coffee," one "apparently I'm a secretary now..." and one "we're all dudes here right?" type comment.

You can express empathy with the other person though. And in English, at least, this is commonly done using apologetic language, "I am sorry that you feel that way and I understand…

I don't work for PopVox, so I'm gonna stick with "Congresscritter" :) Anyway, I guess you were expecting one of those hokey quizzes news sites have that never really cover the base…

So get your preferred groups to make use of the handy widgets PopVox makes available for easily contacting Congress on whatever their important-bill-of-the-moment is. https://www.p…

If you and ten other people shared a BugMeNot account, that'd mean your opinions and those ten others would all be grouped as one user, meaning it wouldn't ACTUALLY represent your …

It's not a paywall. It's free. Here's how it works: you use PopVox to communicate with Congress, sending support or oppose messages which are publicly tallied so all can see which …

Have you seen this article? http://geekfeminism.org/2010/08/10/restore-meritocracy-in-cs... One way teachers can even the CS 101 playing field is by doing something totally differe…

"Most of them aren't interested in developing, but in functional analysis and leading teams." That was the impression I had of SEs in general during my undergrad. The CS kids wante…

I don't know about the 70s, but one of my (female) professors worked on the code that took Apollo into space in the 60s.

I ended up here by Googling for "secretpoke spam" so yes, it totally does look like a spam email. Particularly since the "hint" given narrows it down to married people, people who'…

I'm Mackenzie in the article. The guy who made the comment about why someone else was agreeing with me...he wasn't new. I don't know about the guy who grabbed/kissed me. Going a li…

Yes, it says she went to the police. Where does it say the police didn't care?

Only married in the "divorce proceedings take a while" sense.

The screen's the most important part? I think it's the keyboard. Typing without looking isn't a problem.

wow, our usernames are similar... but yes, +1 for ZaReason. I have two of their systems. The company is a pleasure to deal with.

Wearing a big black t-shirt from ThinkGeek 2 sizes too big, baggy shorts, white socks pulled up, sneakers, and your hair messy... it's like using the tag with cyan text on a red ba…

Welcome to being a woman. Remember how the old ideal figure for a woman was a small waist and big hips? It turns out that being shaped that way means shopping for jeans is impossib…
