- wayniac 10y agoNot "women are the problem" but still, who wants to deal with someone that might overhear a conversation and cause a shistorm because they don't agree with the conversation? That's the issue with these SJW types. They butt into things that don't concern them, get offended, and then expect the world to accommodate them. Things like the Adria Richards story hurt "women in tech" not because "ew girls, gross!" but because it puts that fear into people's minds about someone overreacting and getting people fired because they can't act like an adult but want to be coddled like a toddler.
- Frondo 10y agoI read the Adria Richards story and I felt no fear about someone overreacting to anything I'd say. Why is this? Because I don't think women are irrational or prone to overreacting. I'm not afraid of interacting with women in the workplace because I don't think there is anything to be afraid of.
- ori_b 10y ago> Why is this? Because I don't think women are irrational or prone to overreacting. People are irrational and prone to overreacting, and women are, last I checked, people.
- 1_2__3 10y agoIt's considered rude in polite text conversation to attribute using quotes words that another person didn't say.
