Too bad there are no actual females posting in response to this.... My thoughts, in summary - I don't think Arthur Chu was looking to blame ALL nerds for harassing women. I believe anyone who thinks that is missing the point. His point, as I understand it, is that if you *are* harassing, disrespecting, or abusing women, or even "just" issuing misogynistic comments, you should cease to do so. If you hear or see this type of behavior, call it out. Yes, ALL women have been harassed (at a very minimum) at some point in their lives (hence "#YesAllWomen"). No, not all of them have not been harassed or abused by nerds. But some have. So cut that shit out (IF YOU ARE DOING IT). And if you're not, well, good for you!
