...so how many women are actually commenting on this post? Raise your hands please?
Hahaha, this is a classssic hackernews discussion. "There is absolutely no discrimination. Women are held to the same standards as men. They just complain. Saying that women have it unfair is ITSELF sexist" type arguments are the best (for entertainment value).
@dang and other hackernews people:
Regardless of if you agree with them or not, you do realize that this will reflect on Ycombinator's perception/PR right? No amount of office hours for women is going to counter this RIDICULOUS volume of INSANELY UNAWARE sexism going around in these forums. I mean, for YCombinator's sake I hope you guys agree with most of the comments here, otherwise this is just deadweight on whatever your 'diversity' aims may be. Calling them lazy, complaining fools is how you put the bullseye on your backs for the time when the pitchforks come out.
Just saying. This is ridiculous. It doesn't have to be this way. Really.
- marcusgarvey 11y agothanks for saying this. it's shocking to see the cesspool that the comments become whenever gender and race issues are raised on this site. are people really this clueless?
