Think about how little time you and I have to devote to these issues. And then think about how we don't have to suffer them. And yet, women and your non-white-male must spend some of their time (that time we may spend coding, or reading, etc) to deal with discrimination, sexism, and the like. The minimum one could do to lessen this burden is to simply look around and listen with the determination to understand their issues, and with that understanding, speak out and be heard so that others may understand as well. Can we really say that we won't do this? Can the rest of us that are not commenting really let people suggest inaction and let those we care about down? Let's come together to be better than that.
