I'm disappointed to see a comment like this here. To treat 'feminists' as a monolithic bloc, mutually exclusive from meaningful contributors to IT, is insulting to those of us who try to be both.

Women in tech face real challenges, including but not limited to casual condescension towards the people fighting for change.

I'm proud of her too, and I'm sure she's exactly the sort of role model that a feminist would have in mind.

I'm sure that many women in tech have problems, although I view them as equal whenever I work with them. Also I am sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings with my comment. I'm just not sure if it helps the general view on women in tech that I read 4 times as many articles complaining about the problems for women to achieving something technical.
