In the parallel-issues department, here’s an interesting narrative in Slate by
Rebecca Watson about the experiences of herself and other women with sexism
offline and on in the skeptic/atheist community.

Among other things, her WP article has been vandalized (I won’t link to diffs
... anyone interested can look through the history).
I daresay that it makes Reddit, even in the wake of the Violentacrez reporting,
look not so bad.
It has also drawn a lot more comments than the typical Slate article.
