Start wearing sweaters, even though my breasts feel like they're boiling in there (yup, that's one reason women like low tops, guys)? Why did she feel forced to write that? As usual, feminists are just professional hypocrites.
Go back to making shitty rails "web apps".
Also it makes my blood boil that women consider the same comment uttered by a good-looking guy and ugly guy as respectively "flattering" and "creepy". Don't want to be sexist? Be attractive. Don't want to be a creep? Be attractive.
Plus it's all made much worse by the fact that she's talking to nerds who are too socially awkward to communicate appropriately with male coworkers let alone members of the opposite sex.
Since when is ``not being offended'' a right? In society, if you're in a situation which you don't like, you have the necessary rights to just walk away. A company may do you an extra service by intervening in interpersonal relationships among employees, but that's up to them and it's not your fundamental right.
I know your dumb feminist brain is too slow to understand this, so I'll give you an example instead: I'm a fat fuck. I go through a particular neighbourhood and get laughed at, which makes me angry. Do I go call the police on them? No, I just walk away. I go to work, and my coworkers make fun of me all the time. May I invoke some fundamental ``right not to be made fun of''? No, I can quit the job; or I can complain to HR, which itself is there solely so that I don't quit and make the company lose money.
Now think about it, is there some way I could possibly stop them from making jokes about it, even behind my fat hairy back? Yes! By earning their respect and becoming one of them -- eventually, they'll end up going "dude, don't say that to him, that's not cool" to each other.
Now let's go back to your little gender discrimination problem. If there's one thing IT people (and geeks in general) absolutely hate, it's to be treated like children and have another's will enforced upon them. Most of them also consider ``polite language'' to be a sign of submission and censorship, or at best a pointless exercise. If an idiot makes a sexist joke or act, now how do you react? If you go up to him and go ``what you said there is offensive and I would appreciate if you would immediately cease and desist such behaviour'', he will feel as if he was being bossed around by someone who isn't even a boss, so he'll just go on the defensive and possibly do it again next time just to piss you off. If instead you go ``dude that was fucking sexist'', he will see you as an equal since you are using the same language as he is; he might argue around a bit on whether that was actually ``fucking sexist'' or not, but he almost certainly won't do it again. (Yes, I know that real actual hard-core chauvinists exist, but most of the time that's not the case at all.)
You claim that male geeks are less social than their female counterparts? Well then, the previous paragraphs should be nothing new to you, girl. So stop bitching and start socializing.
Stanley Kubrick is a sexist. The first part of his 1968 film, ``2001: A Space Odyssey'', is titled ``The Dawn of Man''. We demand it to be renamed to ``The Dawn of Person''.
(Update - Have to close comments! There's some issue with them not posting, and I can't look into it right now. Sorry!)
Did she get told to lighten up too many times?

This is good advice for getting punched in the face harder than Snooki did, too bad the feminazis here are all male so it'll never come to fruition.

Wait, you're saying that if the hypothetical female replies ``dude that was fucking sexist'' to an allegedly sexist remark, she would get punched in the face? Why? What kind of violent environment would create such a response?

You're clueless if you even have to ask such a thing, real men out in the world have no patience for reddit/tumblr femijew PC propaganda bullshit that is rampant online and in closed room talks (complete with contracted security which is very necessary to protect them from being beaten to death for their illogical bullshit) but is never present in the real world for the very reason that NO ONE will fucking put up with it or let it slide, consider yourself fucking warned.

What you're seeing there is a dude masturbating in public. Misogynist cretins like >>7,30 are invariably frustrated little men whose only conception of power is built around literal violence, because they're too socially inept to deal with other mechanisms.

There is no right not to be offended, Nazi cretin.
Thank god I'm not American. I mean, really? How can it get so bad? It's one thing to be conservative but this is like reading the diary of an obese 15-year-old.
