Pycon events

据说这事,最先是在 Hacker News 上火起来的,OSchina 也作了翻译报导

这两天,一年一度的 Python 编程语言大会PyCon正在加州的 Santa Clara 市举行。但是在 Hacker News 和 Reddit 上掀起波浪的不是大会的内容,而是发生在 PyCon 上的一件琐事,现在已经被半开玩笑的命名为“PyCon 事件”。

Adria Richards 是一位开发者推广师。她的工作就是参与各种开发者大会,让开发者们更了解她公司的产品。这次的 PyCon 已经是她自从二月份开始参加的第五个开发者大会。不幸的是,在 PyCon 的开幕仪式上,两位坐在 Adria 后面的男士在聊天互相开玩笑时有意无意说了一些让 Adria 很不愉快的话。

后果,很严重!

Adria 的“圣女贞德反应”是转身用智能手机拍一张照片,在 Twitter 上把两位男士曝光,然后再把整个事情升级为性别歧视,说他们在 PyCon 营造了一种对女性怀有敌意的环境,为了“下一代科技领域的女性不继续成为受害者”,她不得不这么做。这条 Tweet 马上火了起来,其中一位男士的公司也不问青红皂白,已经将他炒了鱿鱼。

事情发生之后,绝大多数的网友,包括很多女性网友,都觉得 Adria 太过分了。一句两个男人之间的荤笑话虽然在 PyCon 这种场合下很不专业,但是完全没有必要升级到这种地步。

Adria Richards, PyCon, and How We All Lost 难得的好长文,值得阅读,墙内用户要想些特殊的手段,你懂的。

Let me get this out of the way: I don’t like Adria Richards. I think I have good reason to not like Adria Richards. So I should be feeling some major Schadenfreude right now. Instead, though, I think what’s unfolded in the developer community in recent days has been a tragedy.

Adria - you need to make this right by apologizing and admitting you were wrong. You’ve taken feminism in tech a step backwards and by standing by your actions you only make it worse.

Wordpress.com 上的文章,引想网友热评,Hacker News 上亦掀起轩然大波:

过度反映,上纲上线,的确不讨人喜欢。
