    Well every experience is different. She’s in India.

    And our point was that maybe if the title had said “FOSS communities in India” (for example) no one would have taken issue with her blog post.

    It’s her story

    And? What is it that you try to tell with that statement?

    I see no need to put representation in quotes.

    I did use quotes because I was not sure it was the right term (I am a fluent, but not a native speaker of English).

    You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

    What is the relevancy of that proverb?

    I can point out how shitty it is that this gets downvoted for the wrong reasons

    The only thing you did was complain about downvotes, state the downvotes were lousy (without providing an argument to that opinion) and state (more or less) that we are bad people (I am paraphrasing).

    but I cant force people to see it that way […] And the worst part is even well meaning people can fail to see the point.

    No, but you could make a more mature and serious effort to convince us by having properly formed statements (of opinion), forming logically valid (and preferably true) arguments to back those opinions up. Without phallacies, whining, shifting the goal post or acting we are all bad/stupid/uncaring.

    TLDR, you are losing credibility hand over fist in this discussion.

      Translation: I don’t wanna believe that I could be perpetuating the problem.

      When I say its her story, I mean I don’t expect her to make a hyper specific title so it doesn’t offend you.

      I said that proverb because people like you won’t drink, however somewill. And this desire to shut her down comes from an entitlement to be recognized as good and virtuous.

      I provided plenty of arguments you just don’t respond to them because you feel they aren’t worthy. Which tells me a lot about how you treat women.

      No, but you could make a more mature and serious effort to convince us by having properly formed statements (of opinion), forming logically valid (and preferably true) arguments to back those opinions up.

      You don’t get to dictate how I speak. Very condecending. Honestly this is why I don’t take you serious.

      Without phallacies, whining, shifting the goal post or acting we are all bad/stupid/uncaring.

      I never said any of those things I about people. Also “whining” translation, I’m whining about this post and what this woman said so I’m gonna be condecending. How dare you talk to me like I’m a child.

      TLDR, you are losing credibility hand over fist in this discussion.

      Losing credibility among sensitive men who wish to silence women for speaking out about abusive behavior.

      TLDR This comes off as very insecure and I never wished to have credibility among men like you. I have come to the conclusion you are not one of the well intentioned men who don’t get it. Rather you wish to keep your position of power in society even when it requires women accept abusive treatment from men.
