[Noisebridge-discuss] Preventing Hacker Rape Culture

[rachel lyra hospodar]

'Rape culture' is a term of art used, among others, by people who discuss
why women are still subject to violence and stuff at a way different rate
than men.  It describes a host of cultural conditions, some of which apply
here. This kind of terminology can be alienating to people who are not
steeped in these realities. it doesn't mean it's inaccurate. It might be
jarring. This might, upon consideration, help to underscore the qualitative
differences between the ways each of us experience the same social space.
