It's easy to forget that lots of folks are not as well travelled and may not exactly know what this is all about, so thank you for the write up. Just yesterday, I saw a post linking to a Buzzfeed article making fun of those "nice guys", and the author of the post whose name escapes me at the moment explaining how this was very offensive to him and ironically proving the point of the article - something I'm pretty used to observing. This quickly disappeared from the website entirely after only a few minutes and I've been unable to find it again. I'm not actually sure what happened, but I have to say it made me feel better. My experience with Hubski so far has been incredibly pleasant and thoughtful and definitely a success in making me feel better about community and interaction on the web, and I really don't want the attitudes I try to avoid as a woman everywhere else (something I have not had to do here) to follow me.
