Or perhaps her blog post is her attempt to begin thinking things through.
I am 47, a good bit older than most people posting on HN or writing tech blogs. I did a lot of journalling pre-internet, thus only read by me and sometimes my therapist. I now routinely examine my belly button in public, but a lot of what I write is stuff I have thought about deeply for many years. I assure you I threw myself plenty of pity parties when I was younger. In fact, I eventually stopped doing therapy because I reached a point where I felt that whining and crying to a therapist was helping me to keep alive a victim mentality and victim self image and I wanted to genuinely move on. But first I had to go through all that.
Both sexes are struggling to leave behind old paradigms. We all have a growth process to go through.
But certainly have an upvote for furthering the discussion.
True that. I suspect she was probably also caught off guard, and that this may have been the first time she was ever treated badly because of her sex, and responded passively because she was somewhat in shock. But hopefully she'll shake it off and if/when it happens again, will take the bull by the horns and channel Angelina Jolie or challenge the guy to a gamer duel or something.
