In the discussion following a sexist incident, attempts are sometimes made to dismiss what happened as an isolated incident. In fact, these kinds of incidents usually reflect an ongoing pattern (either within an individual community or within the larger geek or technical community as a whole), which is a significant reason why they are so problematic.
This wiki's Timeline of incidents is an attempt to counter the "isolated incident" argument.
