Did you read the comments under the article? I usually do not buy sexism in tech, but this got me.


> Did you read the comments under the article?

It usually isn't a good idea.

> I usually do not buy sexism in tech

So I guess you don't "buy" it because you don't usually see it, if only on account of not being on the receiving end of it?


You have no idea who I am, so please keep your guessing to yourself.


> You have no idea who I am

Well you're the one who just had to note you don't buy sexism in tech.


Who are you?


I came here to see if anyone else noticed the sexists comments under the article, what a shame.

However it's not difficult to find sexists pricks in tech.

Or online, or in public.


You're probably just the only two who read the comments...


I think the comments were removed, but one of them said that she should build a body-powered vibrator and she would be millionaire.


They must have been removed. The 8 comments that are there are quite benign


The fact that gender is mentioned in the headline and discussed there and here points to a different standard for males and females I think. If it was just a passing reference, no problem, but the fact ITS A GIRL is somehow amazing. That's sad.


I totally agree. I think the fact that her gender was brought up so much demeans her accomplishment and insults her a bit. Sadly, we as a culture are still figuring this all out.
