Except of course, those two things have actually happened, multiple times. When Adria Richards tweeted that guy's picture in DongleGate, he got fired, and she got called a hero and fashioned herself Joan of Arc (no really). When Feminist Software Foundation appeared on Github, Ashe Dryden tweeted the list of people who starred the repo and suggested their employers should be told. Shanley Kane's medium.com posts are full of blaming "white men", "privilege" and "patriarchy" for this or that, with usually nothing to back it but anger and indignation. To me, the phrases "twitter witch hunts" and "being branded patriarchal bullshit" seem entirely accurate. Or would you call that being interested in a "constructive discussion"?
