Is there something that can collectively be done about Gawker (more Vallewag)?

Sure: don't talk to their writers.

If there's one thing gawker sites do well, it's nerd baiting.

Yes, there are problems women face in STEM fields. No, getting everyone angry at pg isn't gonna help.

To be sure, "someone is wrong on the internet!" is what sites like these depend on for a business model.
