It depresses me because I look around at my fellow engineers at work and wonder how many of them are secretly posting misogynistic BS on Hackernews.


My concern is how many of the coders downplaying things like the risks of deepfakes are also operating and profiting from the many revenge porn websites etc.

That and simply how self-reinforcing it all is. The more hostile these discussions are to women's experiences the fewer women who will push through and take part in the conversation, meaning we just press ahead in the safety of our own homogeneity.
