In the parallel-issues department, here’s an interesting narrative in Slate by Rebecca Watson about the experiences of herself and other women with sexism offline and on in the skeptic/atheist community.

Among other things, her WP article has been vandalized (I won’t link to diffs ... anyone interested can look through the history).

I daresay that it makes Reddit, even in the wake of the Violentacrez reporting, look not so bad.

It has also drawn a lot more comments than the typical Slate article.
