She really does. And that's the problem -- that a few of us are able to say this clearly and so the (many) well-meaning guys in the community just let the few articulate women who are willing to make everything clear, who are willing to defend decent behavior, speak for us all and do all the hard work. But we shouldn't be letting this be the way our community works. It shouldn't be a standard that women can only stick it out if they constantly have to explain and defend themselves. The standards of community behavior should not work that way. I would like to see more women in the technology community, the quiet times, the less outspoken ones.

I'm sorry you got driven out of your classes. That's pretty egregious.
