Totally agree. That was my first reaction after reading this. Not cool.
That's a pretty good article in Polish, tackles the issue from more than one perspective: http://niebezpiecznik.pl/post/problemy-w-pkw-zliczanie-gloso...
Not sure if anyone pointed this out here before, but asking for a participant's gender in a questionnaire before any of the questions are actually asked skews the results. It's got to do with stereotype threat and is…

That's disgusting.
Dogs require taking care of. For someone who is clinically depressed and has huge problems with properly taking care of themselves, taking care of someone else might be extremely exhausting. It can also lead to blaming…

It's very nice to read some women have positive experiences and that some companies are able to create a discrimination-free culture. I'm happy for Gosia and it gives me some hope for the future. What I am scared of is…

Because, putting it shortly, saying "I didn't see it happen" is too close to saying "I didn't see it happen, therefore it doesn't exist".

Of course you didn't think that. I think your confusion stems from the fact that, when speaking about IRC, one speaks also about the community that uses IRC -- without the people using IRC, it would be useless, since…
