Jeez. If I am a victim now, then you are no lesser of a victim for being hurt by not being able to fully understand my comment of me not being a victim. Let's not go the soap opera way.
She is a professional public speaker, not a web designer. Whatever she's gotta say, it serves to promote her brand. This is factored into her decision to post. It doesn't make what she has to say any less true, but it does make it far less interesting and it also makes it look far more calculated.
OK, the passive-aggressive accusation of your part, just pushed me over the edge (Your edit).
To you, sir, I have nothing more to say, but:
"Don't feed the trolls"
For everybody else, that should have been my answer:
Well, first, I am not hurt. I was cynically trying to expose your style of thinking to be exactly aligned with the mindset, that (imho) is the underlying reason, so many (or even just some) women feel treated like shit in this industry.
As I believe, real reasoning might be lost on people expressing their attitude the way you do, I was trying another route, employed by the medieval jesters, called irony. As your mindset really fits the dark ages better than the 21st century, that just seemed fitting.
I know, that, with going that route, I did nothing less then assuming a lot on your position - and maybe I really did wrong you, by assuming, that your passive-aggressive tone of writing was exactly that. Maybe I did you wrong, by totally misunderstanding your point (that I am not able to see, even after your reaction to my comment).
Soap-opera-way? I have really not idea, what you might mean by that.
If I understand you right, everybody, that ever had a professional gig in speaking, is not allowed to post a very terrible personal experience on her/his own blog, telling a story of how someone tried to destroy her reputation? Sorry, but that I really don't get.
