> it will take a complete tear-down and rebuild to make the tech world the kind of place we’d want to be

Rebuilding the world to fit the whims of people who are horrified by tweets or apps is not a good idea.

In these situations, you're really only afforded two options: join the mob or shut up. Even questioning whether or not someone should be terminated from employment for being an idiot is treated as supporting rape culture.

making peeping tom apps, that post sexually interpreted images of women without their consent, is a worse idea.

Well the app was in very bad taste in my opinion. Women have the ability pretty much wholly under their control as to whether people want to take sexy pics of them in public, it is called clothing choice. There is absolutely no restriction on a woman wearing more and looser clothing so that this never happens to them. The exact same thing can be said about makeup and how they style their hair. And if you seriously dress like you do not want attention men will not notice you and not take pictures of your boobs.
