Posted a bikini pic on Twitter and I had def had a guy reply with “so you share it with the entire world. Nobody cares” lmfaooo I know it’s hard for ppl like him to fathom a woman being able to post tech stuff and share the fun parts of her life at the same time lol 😂 🥂
@taeluralexis I don’t understand people. 🙄
@SecureInStyle the only solution is to have men post themselves in bikinis too. Only solution
New social media challenge sees mermen surface from First Nations across Manitoba | CBC News

Mermen from First Nations across Manitoba have been washing up on social media timelines in recent weeks, as part of a social media challenge that sees men dressing up as the half-fish, half-human creatures and posing for pics.

@taeluralexis clearly we are supposed to forgo all fun and only talk about security stuff

It’s stuff like that which tells me many people on social media don’t see others as people but as sources of information for their convenience

@jerry thank you for explaining this so well, that’s exactly what it is. I’ve had such shitty experiences as you’ve probably seen lol 😅 and I just want to have fun and don’t mind sharing it. We’re multidimensional ppl capable of doing and being so many things
@taeluralexis He’s definitely mad that he was turned on by a photo of an engineer.
@taeluralexis there was that whole #infosecbikini thing a couple years back too. See https://www.teiss.co.uk/technology/infosecbikini-the-infosec-community-fights-trolls-with-bikini-photos-150 for a report about it. I thought it was a given that we are all whole people, with bodies, hobbies, and lives outside our jobs. Share whatever you want to, you are awesome and trolls are dumb.
#infosecbikini: The InfoSec Community Fights Trolls with Bikini Photos

If you're active on Twitter in the information security space, you will have probably noticed the hashtag #infosecbikini has remained a popular hashtag for the last few weeks.

@Infosecben YES!! They need to bring it back lol 😆. And precisely!
@taeluralexis I'm often embarrassed by the behaviour of men, on social media AND in real life. Frankly, I don't know how some women manage to keep their wits about them when faced with some of the nonsense. I'd post a bikini pic in solidarity, but I don't think I could pull it off at my age. ;) -- You remind me what it's like to be younger, eager, and new in the business-- stay strong. You may find some dudes who’ve got your back here.
