I don't think you've chosen very good examples there.
Tim Hunt has been rightly criticised for his remarks, no-one has gone on to claim that because he said these things he's a terrible person and deserves to have his Nobel prize revoked. In fact, almost every article I've read on the matter has gone on to say that he has a good record of mentoring both men and women.
T-shirt dude issued a heartfelt apology which was widely accepted by those who had objected to the T-shirt in the first place and most felt the failure was at least as much on the part of the European Space Agency who should have managed a spot of basic PR management.
As for GamerGate and Sad Puppies, the debate here has centred more on the movement itself than the people that compose it. In the same way I can believe that UKIP is a powerful force for evil without assuming every UKIP voter is.
In short, whilst I think you've made good points, I think you've chosen very poor examples to back them up.
