The comment is topical on HN because of previous incidents of sexual assault allegations at&#x2F;after tech conferences that were not dealt with by the criminal justice system, but rather by internet mobs and character assassination.<p>I&#x27;m of the opinion that this kind of stuff should be reported to the police and be dealt with there, rather than via blog posts and twitter, but the argument &quot;police don&#x27;t care&quot; seems to trump my position.<p>I live in Australia where the police would give a flying shit, especially if you have corroborating witnesses (the case I am thinking of here on HN did).<p>This all ties in with the &quot;All White Men&quot;&#x2F;&quot;Women In Tech&quot;&#x2F;&quot;Male Privilege&quot; microcosm that is not unique to startup web tech, yet has somehow crept in, in the last few years.<p>I like to keep my peas and corn separate on my plate, but others like to mix them together. Oh well.
