Her work has had profound impact and I’m excited to read her book.

It’s amazing to still see the ramifications of her work today.

For example, in this very thread it shows just how latent misogyny is in the majority of the community. It’s a special sort of myopia dressed up as factual rational discussion but her work exposes that sentiment for what it is: fear of change, fear of women, fear of losing power over women, and the insecurity of emasculated men who work in power systems that encourage them to kick down.

I don't see it, what actually changed? Uber changed a lot, but that doesn't matter if you don't work at Uber. The only thing we learned is that investors and customers doesn't care, Uber is doing better than ever and the people who caused the problems got extremely rich in the process.

Majority of what community? Are you noticing which comments are getting voted high, and which ones are downvoted into nothingness?

This community. Tech. HN.

Sometimes these discussions, as here, go relatively well. But that's relative. There's still a lot of misogynist nonsense, both subtle and blatant, and I can watch my antisexist posts get voted up and down. But quite often they go poorly. That's something that's easy to miss if one isn't intentionally antisexist. And since sexism is something guys can ignore if we want, it's especially easy for us to miss it.
