From the comments section on her article:

This is satire of what an overzealous feminist would do... right? You didnt ACTUALLY ruin 2 peoples(and by extension, their families) lives because of a immature and harmless joke, right? And you wouldn't flaunt that ability as some wonderful accomplishment, right?

The saddest part about all of this is, these women think this 3rd wave of feminism is going to work in their interest. It isnt. 3 months ago i would have considered myself a feminist, since we're all trying to work for true equality, right? But the more i read about this.... the Anita Sarkeesian's, the Rebecca Watson's, and now the Andria Richard's... The more i realize this is less about equality, and more about feelings of victimization and 'getting even with men', regardless what the individual did, just as long as he has a penis. Sorry, but i cant be associated with that anymore. Id rather hit the glass ceiling than blindly and arbitrarily ruin my peers lives because i dont have a penis.

You're a simple minded PERSON Andria. What you did reflects poorly on all of us women, but even worse on humankind.

I propose a Kickstarter to raise money to sue this woman for libel and damages caused from the termination and public humiliation of these two men.

LOL, by clicking on the link we're pretty much part of the overload attack :)

And she's a fuckin' feminazi bigot by the way, she doesn't like a joke so she ruins people's lives. Way to go. I hope karma bites her in the ass soon.

This is an interesting comment by Adria herself:

I don't consider myself a feminist. See reply above on why I didn't verbally confront them.

I suspected as much the first time I read about the incident. Adria just seems to be someone with an anti-social bullying and vindictive personality. She fits in with feminism so easily because that's essentially what feminism is about. She uses their language because it justifies the sort of things she wants to say so she feels like "Joan of Arc" and can compare (as she did) a dick joke with genocide while tweeting her own dick jokes (plural).

That is not to say that this event has nothing to say about feminism. You only have to look at how many feminists rush to defend her and agree with and enable her actions.

As others have noted, I wonder if it is a DDOS or the slashdot effect; either seems likely.

If it's a DDOS, it's too bad. That's like pulling the fire alarm before a public speech.

I hope she gets blacklisted in the industry for this.

2013-03-20T01:19:31+00:00

but youre a girl .com

Of course her website would play that card...

toptrool · 2013-03-19T22:01:11+00:00

next thing you know she'll be crying victim and she'll have her own kickstarter. with thousands of dollars in donations too!

zellyman · 2013-03-19T20:40:40+00:00

Her site is going in and out at the moment, but for the last couple of hours it was pretty much inaccessible. Proper response? Or two wrongs don't make a right?

rg57 · 2013-03-20T04:14:15+00:00

It wouldn't be the first time that someone did this to their own site...

Aaod · 2013-03-20T15:39:33+00:00

I still can't wait to see more tech people taking the red pill and rejecting feminism they are the kind of allies I want. Hopefully they take it before it is to late.

Collective82 · 2013-03-20T04:19:08+00:00

do we have any real proof that these guys were fired? Not just some random internet poster saying ti was them and that they got fired.

penikripa · 2013-03-20T04:25:47+00:00

Downvoted because she's no "lady".

saoran · 2013-03-20T16:02:41+00:00

Some people just don't grow up ... Sigh

AnomalousGonzo · 2013-03-20T16:35:46+00:00

I'm not condoning what she did, but isn't the real issue that a the men were fired over baseless allegations, and not that the allegations were made in the first place? Isn't the company these guys worked for the true villain in all of this?

ThePigman · 2013-03-20T01:57:31+00:00

Maybe, or maybe it's another publicity ploy -- she certainly has the skills to fuck up her own site and she obviously doesn't have the scruples that would stop her from doing something so dishonest. And "lady"? How about "woman" next time?
