第22条军规：女性写科技博客的处境
Catch-22: Tech Blogging As a Woman
导读
这篇文章讲的是女性技术博主的两难处境：公开性别，文章就会因性别被轻视、被骚扰；不公开，读者就默认作者是男性，在评论里用“he”称呼她。对写作者来说，它值得一读的地方在于：当“我是谁”和“我写了什么”纠缠在一起时，写作该如何处理身份、误认和随之而来的争论。评论区也正好呈现了这类文章常见的几种反驳。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
如果文章想证明“女性也在写技术”，就先摆出技术内容本身，不要让围绕“身份”的讨论占掉主要篇幅。
- 02
“我的文章因性别被轻视”这类抽象论断，需要配上具体例子，否则读者只能在观点层面互相争论，无法推进。
- 03
英语里用“he”称呼性别未知的作者，常常只是占位用法；写作中改用“they”或直接点名，可以避免把误认变成干扰。
- 04
面对“你先证明自己”式的敌意回应，不要被对方设定的框架带着走，但也要承认其中“技术内容在哪里”是个真问题。

把“默认男性”视为统计性的正常倾向，主张女性少抱怨、埋头做作品，把结构性问题与个别用词混为一谈。
你改变不了这个现状。几乎每一位伟大的程序员或计算机科学家都是男性，以至于我们都默认他们是男性，看到女性化的名字（比如“Leslie Lamport”）还会再核实一下。这只是很正常的倾向：我们默认篮球运动员身高超过一米九，默认护士是女性。有很多人克服歧视的故事（比如印度移民被认为不适合在硅谷做高管），相比之下，眼下“科技界女性”这个热门话题显得很可笑。我们说的是赤裸裸的歧视，不是偶尔用错代词。硅谷的印度人成立了 TiE 组织来建立存在感，他们给自己贴上“印度创业者”的标签、互相扶持，这有什么坏处吗？似乎没有。所以，也许克服你所感受到的这种“压迫”的正确方式就是：别再抱怨个没完，埋头写代码，等你成功了顺便帮几个其他女性一把。

You're not going to change this. Yes, virtually every great programmer or computer scientist is a male. So much so that we're all going to assume they're male, and when we see a female name (like "Leslie Lamport") we double-check to see if it's actually a female. This is just a normal tendency. We assume basketball players are over 6'3", we assume nurses are female. There are many stories of people overcoming discrimination (say, Indian immigrants being thought to be unfit for executive positions in Silicon Valley), and they make the current hot topic of women in tech look incredibly dumb. We're talking overt discrimination, not occasional pronoun misuse. Indians in Silicon Valley started a group called TiE to help establish a presence. Does it hurt for them to have labeled themselves as "Indus Entrepreneurs" and try to help each other? Doesn't seem so. So maybe the right way to overcome this "oppression" you feel is just to quit fucking bitching, put your head down and code, and maybe help a few other women out along the way when you achieve success.
批评文章用大量篇幅谈代词误用，却没展示女性技术作品本身，等于坐实了对方的指责。
女性写的技术文章在哪里？抱怨受压迫、攻击男性、抛出荒谬刻板印象的投稿比比皆是，技术性的贡献在哪里？作者开头做得不错，她链接了自己讲 Git submodules 的文章，展示了自己的贡献；但除了开头几句谈这个话题，剩下全在发泄评论里 he/she 的二选一。我当然理解别人搞错性别时的挫败感，但在“科技界女性”这个话题上，这似乎不是该聚焦的地方。它可能是大问题的征兆？当然。但它回答了“女性写的技术文章在哪里”吗？没有。这恰恰落入了引发这篇文章的那位评论者所说的同一个套路：抱怨受压迫的投稿很多，技术贡献在哪？作者没有去推荐科技界女性的好文章、链接业内流量不错的女性博客、谈论她们的贡献，反而正好掉进了延续这个问题的那一类里。我同意人们错误假设时会激起裂痕，但在我看来这无关紧要。

Where are the technical articles written by women? There are plenty of contributions complaining about oppression, while attacking men and claiming absurd stereotypes. Where are the technical contributions? I think the author does a great job starting out by highlighting her own contributions via the linked write-up on Git submodules, but beyond the first couple of sentences on the topic nothing, and spends the rest of the article on a tear about the he/she dichotomy in comments. While I can certainly understand the frustration when people get gender wrong, that seems to be the wrong place to focus on in this topic of women in tech. Is it possibly an indicator of the problem at large? Sure. Does it answer the question "Where are the tech articles written by women"? No. It does play right into the exact same mold the commenter was talking about, that set this entire entry into motion: There are plenty of contributions complaining about oppression...where are the technical contributions? Instead of highlighting great articles from the women in tech, or linking to other women in the industry with well trafficked blogs and talking about their contributions, the author fell right into the category that perpetuates this problem. Mind you, I agree that there is a rift that rises when people make the wrong assumption, but that's nil imo.
“he”是英语中性别未知时的占位用法，未必带有“假设作者为男”的意味。
大多数时候，人们在不知道作者性别时会用“he”。这并不是在假定作者是男性，它只是英语里的一个占位词。

Most of the time people use "he" when they don't know the gender of the author. It's not assuming the author is a man. It's a place-holder word in English.
要求给出具体案例：抽象论断需要可验证的证据支撑。
（引原文）而且，这样做会招来骚扰，我的文章会因为我的性别被轻视、被贬低、被当作点缀。所以我才不公开（至少在这篇文章之前没有公开）性别。我想弄清楚这个问题的严重程度。你能举出一些因为作者性别而被轻视的女性技术文章的例子吗？

> Furthermore, doing so results in harassment and having my writing dismissed/trivialized/tokenized because of my gender. Hence why I don’t (or at least, hadn’t until this post). I'd like to understand the severity of this issue. Can you provide examples of technical articles written by women that were dismissed due to their gender?
