When the UK's Regulatory Authorities Are Systematically Failing Women
Last year: Tux Machines Was Always Run by Women
As noted earlier today as well as last night, my wife is contacting politicians regarding the abuse she received for running this site. The abuse always came from jealous, abusive men.
Regulatory authorities are meant to do the right thing, not to let American men (yes, plural, it's more than one) abuse women in the UK. If the authorities fail at duty of care, then we contact our representatives, who can air grievances of their constituents and maybe bring about positive outcome. This isn't the last resort but one of several. This is part of a years-old journey.
Ironically, the very same people who demand communities and projects adopt a "CoC" are the ones doing the most abuse. █
