I say sexism is fucked up, and this guy blames me for sexism in the tech industry.

No, you didn't say that. You said it was inevitable and that people should suck it up and stop harping on it. You're not the victim here.

I did say that people should suck it up. I was referring to ignoring the treatment (online) as a better form of dealing with it than running away. But at the same time that confronting the attackers would be a more proactive effort. Not to stop harping on it. I specifically said women should mobilize and work proactively to prevent sexism in the industry, which is far from 'stop harping on it'. But thanks for cherry picking two things I said, displaying them out of context and inserting your own agenda.
keep telling women what to do because you know better, i'm sure that will end the sexism really fast
