I won't even try to convince you not to be such a terrible sexist monster, but I will politely request that you:

1) Keep that shit to yourself

2) Don't attribute your perverse motives to others

I personally know 3 other people who contributed for the exact same reason. Not friends, but people I know personally.

I would distance myself from people who are that misogynist.

[sergiotapia]

How is that a misogynist view though? Men aren't allowed to see women as attractive in the USA?

[MartinCron]

There is a huge difference between finding someone attractive and reducing them to nothing more than a sex object. Funding this because you're horny is disrespectful to everyone.

Imagine for a second that Lebron James were to create a Kickstarter for a cookbook he wanted to make, which was funded to the tune of $100,000. Obviously, much of this money would come from people who didn't really care about the superstar's take on the perfect omelette, but valued his athleticism enough that they wanted to support him in other endeavors. Is this reduction of James to nothing more than his basketball skills equally problematic? If not, what do you see as the difference that makes this latter example of objectification ok?

[MartinCron]

What a terrible analogy. It's not like Linda Liukas is a pin-up model trying to trade on her sexuality. She's an educator and illustrator who is trying to do something great.

Please, stop being so damn creepy and/or supporting people who are so damn creepy. This community doesn't have to be such a hostile place.

Hopefully with time, this sexist/childish behavior towards women in tech will die, and we won't have to put up with it anymore.

Thank you for calling him out.
