>That is a direct contradiction. You acknowledge as much right after. What's even the point of writing this and posting it?
Umm... to SHOW that it's a contradiction. To demonstrate the absurdity of making statements that betray one's behavior. It's easier to know how dumb you're being if you see someone else doing it.
Let me rephrase this for you.
I don't care about anime. When someone throws an anime conference, I don't care. I won't be going. What I'm not going to do is jump on the internet and start saying "I have a problem with anime conferences!"
I might have a problem with, say, a Nazi conference; their goals and premises are fundamentally objectionable to me. What is fundamentally objectionable about a women in tech conference? More women in tech?

> Have you?
Yes. All the time. You see, I'm not complaining about people ostracizing me for my stupid ideas. They are free to do that, and I deserve it when it happens. That's how stupid ideas die.

What I'm not going to do is jump on the internet and start saying "I have a problem with anime conferences!" Apples and oranges, you're allowed to go to anime conferences. This is literally what you think: "You're opposed to gender-exclusive conferences, and you think that the prioritization of one gender over another is counter-intuitive in regards to attaining gender equality, that means that you object to women in tech". There is something horribly wrong with your way of thinking if that is your interpretation.
- Retra 11y agoA. I'm not talking about gender-exclusive conferences, nor was the person I responded to (as far as I can tell), nor have I ever heard of such a thing. B. If you think my English is so poor that I'm unable to properly express myself, then maybe you shouldn't pretend to know what I'm thinking. You only have access to a few of my words, and you've already (actually, literally) indicated that you don't understand them. So don't be an ass. And maybe take a step back and look at how your behavior supports your broader point.
