Week 4.5 post

I do think that when something is supper vulgar and it’s due to what someone ones says they should be accountable. It just depends on what is said and how others view it. I personally saw nothing wrong with her outing men who are being rude and jerks. The picture was a little far I think, but I have seen worse against women.
I do think maybe a private post on Facebook like in a group that deals with stuff would have been a better choice. I know I’m in groups that deal with a number of issues and it stays between the group so trolls don’t’ come in and don’t start wars.
I don’t think they should be allowed if not invited due to the fact that the groups are made people who might think a lot differently. She posted that because she was sick of women being told from the time their born that technology is a man’s world. Freedom of speech and I she really didn’t say anything wrong.
I do think that her not being able to defend herself was a big part of it. She couldn’t say like “I found this very offensive and it really burns me how it’s ok to post about women and not men.” I think that if she could have explained why she did it might have been ok and also she might not have been fired for posting it. 12 hours is a lot of time to get one side of the story and leaving the other side to assumptions.
My own opinion of the article:
I think people took it too far when it came to thinking defensively.  Like yes jokes are funny, but there is a time and place for certain jokes. I don’t like sexist jokes because they are very mean and when it comes to equality sexist jokes are you’re in the dog house. I do think that you need to be careful who you say them around. This lady doesn’t like them like most ladies out there and I think that’s why she posted it. The issue with posting something like that is you have ignorant people out there who will attack you. I know that I have been attacked because I post things about feminism and some men I have in my family don’t like that. They have told me to stop being a feminist and that I’m a b****. They have said worse. I know how this women feels due to the fact that she just wanted to make it better for women and that comes with a cost. You always have those comments from trolls and they are what get you.
As I read the article I was so happy that finally men who make inappropriate comments will be exposed and then have to pay for their behavior, but then I read more. I do not agree in her being fired because both of the men who made the comments were not fired. Only one was which doesn’t seem right to me.

The biggest issue I have with this article is this I know I have seen women get outed all the time for wearing something some man thought was not appropriate and no one says anything. Those men are not fired or anything.  I don’t see why this women was fired for reporting inappropriate behavior and why only one was fired out of the guys.
