who else is uncomfortable with women in tech? women.
Case in point: the strange, sad case of Violet Blue at Mac World, wherein a developer showcasing her work is dismissed as The Saddest Booth Babe In The World.
Violet who? She’s a sex columnist like Dan Savage, except neither funny nor relevant. So not at all like Dan Savage. Anyway, after getting called out on her shit, it just gets better:
“I put the woman in a social category based on the environment she was in. I was not the only one to do so.”
So that makes it all OK, then. Good to know.
Then again, I don’t know why her actions should surprise anyone; this is the same person whose writing standards were so bad she got kicked off of BoingBoing and who thought using a .ly domain for a “sex positive URL shortener” was a good idea.
