If you've never been to a feminist conference, you're missing out. If you've never found yourself surrounded by dozens of brilliant, empathetic, creative and determined women, you should consider giving it a try. If you've never gone from learning about how open source cloud computing platforms work straight to a discussion of microaggressions and how to deal with them, finishing things off by sharing your favorite feminist response gifs - well, maybe you should come to AdaCamp.
A while back I interviewed some core contributors to Wikipedia Project Medicine. While I'm wildly enthusiastic about their work, I can't help feeling that Wikipedia falls far short of being an ideal medium for sharing medical knowledge.

She was inspired by Kate Harding, who had been tweeting links to some of these stories as a way of explaining that violent male entitlement was not unique to Elliot Rodgers but is endemic to our culture.
