| > How could I possibly find a quote that doesn't exist? In any other circumstance, that might be OK. In this case though, she has written just ONE blog post about this incident. Obviously it makes sense to start there. She has given many interviews too about it, and commented on other websites. You could have left that for later.

Let’s unify the message to our daughters and to the women developers we work with: “We want you to be here and we will do our best to welcome you into the world of programming.” What has to change is that everyone must take personal accountability and speak up when they hear something that isn’t ok. It takes three words to make a difference: “That’s not cool.” </blockquote> I am given to understand that katherineparker does not believe that she's one of these women who need to be massaged from birth to retirement, and katherineparker wishes Adria, being some kind of evangelist, had stopped "representing" women in general in this manner. That's cool. I absolutely refuse to massage anyone. > You have made a false claim about what Adria Richards said. False claim. > You keep repeating that she represents all women. Odd. KP said the opposite. There is definitely more matter for me to go on about. Just not the will. |
You to me: Odd. KP said the opposite.
Are you trolling? Let me quote KP:
If she [Adria] didn't proclaim to represent us then it wouldn't be a problem to me.
and
She [Adria] said she is speaking for women in tech.
On what planet are these statements the opposite? I quite literally quoted KP's claims verbatim.
And why did you post that random <blockquote>? Was it supposed to prove that Richards said she was speaking for all women? Because in what you quoted, she doesn't actually say that.
