I don't really follow politics, so this article confused me for a bit.
(Until i looked up the #shecodedally tag)

I honestly thought it was going to be about helping out fellow developers or some such.

Which i guess it is to some extend.

On a side note, odd tags, privilege, and other random meta aside.
Most of the advice here could be included in and article simple called "How not to be an asshole" and the advice would have been just as sound.

I find it a little sad we need meta like this to start these debates and to share this kind of advice.

I theorize it's because of a general lack of social intelligence in most people.
Which makes sense to me, because getting emotional tutoring from your parents is a privilege in it self from my observations.
