Comment on Why I don’t use Google+ (as a woman)

Comments

So her not using Google+ has much less to do with her being a woman and much more to do with her job requiring little to no online presence.

She implies that she doesn't want to be harassed as a woman either.

I'd argue that the two are pretty intrinsically linked. A dude can have whatever job he wants, from no-account bus-boy, to middle-management, to executive; and then publicly post whatever he feels like in the mean-time. Hell it's even encouraged to a degree. Gives you "character".

The female equivalent of that is "uppity" or "headstrong"

There have been plenty of men fired for saying idiotic or non-pc things on Facebook or Twitter.

Eh, IMO if that is the case, then no internet presence is best. Otherwise she needs to get off
