See my comment above.

I know I have been "nudged" out of technical pursuits and "nudged" into more "feminine" areas on more than one occasion.    I suppose the planned approach wasn't convenient to others, primarily male.

You can't control other people's lives without it massively backfiring.   There are far too many people involved in this farcical G&M website comment garbage who also engage in other extreme nastiness intended to cause people a lot of harm.   Really, it's criminal harassment.   That's all it is.
