This post is funny... but heart wrenching because it's true. I don't blame you for your sarcastic post - we have to vent sometimes.
I've tossed & turned between having my identity & gender apparent or not on my tech-focused media & blog. Do I hide behind the ambiguous 'SyntaxSeed' or add my name & photo? The gamergate crap scares me too.
Women like you & several others I follow in the PHP & webdev communities have inspired me to be myself & not hide. I think the more we can step up & be vocal about the tech stuff we love, the more we can affect change.
A side note: the logic of the hostility toward women in tech & gaming blows my mind. Do these dudes not realize how great it would be to share your passions with more people? Heck- my husband is non-technical... and that's unfortunate. LOL
Anyway, thanks for braving the trolls, it is truly making a difference & inspiring other women. 😊
