Mad props to xkcd

September 27th, 2007 | Category: Women

Web comic xkcd takes on sexist morons in the geek community:

When someone with a feminine username joins your community, and you say “OMG a woman on the Internet,” or “jokingly” ask for naked pics, you are being an asshole. You are not being ironic. You are not cracking everyone up. You are the number one reason women are so rare on the Internet.

Check it out.

    I think “Joanna, fire” is a usable catchphrase. In particular, in kicks and bans.
