I'd say tweeting that a male friend of hers should stuff socks down his pants is a good enough reason. She represents her company on her twitter.

Even if Adria Richards didn't directly fire them, she certainly stands behind that decision.

She is a sexist, misandrist hypocrite, and she is now the face of SendGrid.

Why is this petition a good thing? Because if Richards pays for her assholery, the next femofascist that gets the idea that this kind of thing is okay may very well think, “Wait, do I really want to end up roasting on a spit like that watsername?” That, folks, is why revenge and punishment reduce the incidence of things that shouldn’t happen – they deter a few of the would-be perpetrators.

Just so everybody knows, 4chan and /b/ in particular have picked up on this and are causing havoc. The minute this goes south, Reddit and MRAs especially are going to cop 100% of the blame for it, calling it now.

Calm your tits everyone, she's been fired https://www.facebook.com/SendGrid/posts/10151502570463967

She's like the alien queen, she's got so many drones protecting her. What makes it even sadder is that she even has men white knighting her. As soon as you get close you have people biting at your feet.

TheEdThing · 2013-03-21T14:26:42+00:00

Wait, what happend?

theflyingsofa3000 · 2013-03-21T14:50:25+00:00

shouldn't it be the responsibility of the techie's company to have a backbone and not bend to the will of any tweeter who becomes offended? Ultimatley, it's the tech company that will have to act to make things right again..... no?

Bukkake_Monster · 2013-03-21T15:16:40+00:00

What if I told you that I can see the future?

She and the feminist movement will claim this petition to be sexist and misogynist. She won't be fired.

Signed it anyway. I hope I'm wrong.

The thing that pisses me off about the whole thing is what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. their was no trial of their peers, they were just booted because one person made a unproven accusation. What is this, The fucking witch hunts again?

Please feel free to note that she is making crude jokes about male anatomy here,

https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/312265091791847425

and feels that she should not be held to the same standard as the men she got fired. This is important. This is a time for us as MRA's to stand together and hold her to the same standards she wants men held to.

Also: a petition to get the techie his job back.

This sort of thing only works on white men. Not women, and especially not black women. They won't fire her if they get a million signatures.

NaqeebJamal · 2013-03-21T16:59:41+00:00

Is it now socially acceptable to tweet to the world before just turning around and asking these two guys to mind their language? Who hasn't accidentally said impolite things thinking you're conversation is private? The other day I dropped the f bomb near a kid at a sporting event. I'm almost never around children and didn't realize it. It was an oversight on my part. The child's father correctly asked me to mind my language. He was completely right.

You get a lot more attention if you tweet.

CapnDancyPants · 2013-03-21T15:58:37+00:00

Any of the comments here are by folks who could write a petition better than the one linked to here. I'm not going to sign a petition I agree with if it looks like it was composed by a sixth-grader.

DavidByron · 2013-03-21T18:11:24+00:00

Passive aggressive.

2013-03-21T18:24:06+00:00

I liked how Anonymous was nice enough to mention our frail attempts at petitions.

Right before they beat SendGrid with a giant stick.

Moreyouknow · 2013-03-21T22:57:28+00:00

In one of her tweets she says you can't be racist against whites. What a bigot.

Coinin · 2013-03-22T00:52:40+00:00

I don't think she should be fired at all. I think she deserves all the ridicule she gets but that guy's job was terminated by his company, not Adria Richards.

memymineown · 2013-03-21T12:14:55+00:00

That makes us no better than she is. Better to sign the petition to get the techie hired/unfired.
