band names galore!

I'm really late to the Kathy Sierra internet misogyny debate, but it's really hard to take it seriously when it includes serious sentences like this:

"However, Chris and I (and others) still strongly disagree about whether people who are respected and trusted in our industry (like the three of them) are giving tacit approval when they support (though ownership, authoring, and promoting) sites like meankids and unclebob."

Also: this caption.

Obviously the possibilities are endless, but I just imagined a conversation occurring where her college roommate says: "I bought a big box of tampons at Costco but Poony Poon over there used them all."

Debate on what needs to be done: I agree it should be discussed.

Regardless of whatever Kathy Sierra says, it's a problem and it's real.
It shouldn't be all too different from real world harassment, people should be accountable for their actions.

oh my god, i'm glad i wasn't the only one snickering at poony poon. i kinda wanted to forward that one to gawker, but i was afraid of what the utter rejection of not making it into "glaring omissions" might feel like.
