Well, feminists want equal rights for women. A misogynist hates women.
One of those is compatible with the companies code of conduct and the other isn't. So I think it's fair to treat them differently.
- zaccus 11y agoI'm confused, which are you saying is compatible? According to the article the former clearly is, but I don't imagine Mozilla's HR puts up with misogyny either.
- gcp 11y agoFeminism is fine and compatible. Misogyny isn't and not compatible. I'm assuming expressing hate towards a group counts as an "exclusionary practice" whereas demanding equal rights isn't.
- hga 11y agoBut 13thLetter didn't say "misogynist", he said "men's rights types". Certainly many of them hate women, just as clearly as many feminists hate men, but that doesn't automatically make all of either type haters.
- 13thLetter 11y agoOk then. So it sounds like we've established that this is not some purely neutral principle, despite such claims elsewhere in this comments section. Calling some employees "batshit insane" is perfectly fine.
- gcp 11y agoWouldn't say that it's perfectly fine but yes, it's probably more likely that the CEO won't care if something bad is being said about an employee that broke the organization's rules, than the reverse. I would think is this common sense but HN never disappoints.
