Removing Female's Code = Harrasment

People seem to be focusing on some of the more prurient allegations - office hula-hooping and so on - but are largely ignoring what to me might be the worst offense: another engineer “passive-aggressively ripping out [her] code from projects [they] had worked on together without so much as a ping or a comment.”

I.e. if a woman writes inefficient, unmaintainable and buggy code, refactoring it would be serious incident of harassment and inappropriate behavior.

What utter, unadulterated bullshit.

The backstory is complicated: Horvath left the software code development company and later alleged in March she was “harassed by ‘leadership’ at GitHub for two years.”

What the fuck? If she was harassed for two years why didn't she report it then? You know what, I was harassed by Horvath 5 fucking years ago for a year but I've somehow only remembered that now; she still owes me 100000 bucks in moral retribution though!

Preston-Werner and his wife, Theresa, left the company today on the heels of Horvath’s allegations

People have to lose their jobs over unsubstantiated bullshit that supposedly happened two years ago? Way to fight for women's rights by making women lose their jobs, by the way.

What the fuck kind of a society is this? A society where every little scandalous lying shit gets her way as long as she's a woman?
