I'm sure his service is just great, but, in the future, if you ever wonder why women don't go into tech (it seems so easy to, where are they?)- remember this. Tacit support of actors in the community like this make tech seem like a hostile place, or, at the very least, a boy's club of people okay with rape jokes. It's not a sustainable atmosphere to maintain

Speaking of nurses (per quote), I worked with nurses before, the vast, vast majority of whom were female, and you'd probably be surprised at the never-ending stream of crude (dick) jokes and "sex-talk"... Wonder if that's the reason there are so little men in nursing?!

  That is different than making a joke at the expense of rape victims. Please think this through. The gender gap in another industry does not negate on in another.

    I don't know where you get your "ideas", but I never said or claimed any of these things. Then again, those nurses really were into joking about and belittling of patients, especially "stupid" ones, tho they did it behind the patients' backs of course. I'm still not sure to this day if all of the ICU nurses calling the deceased "exes" as in "ex-living" was some kind of crude humor or a coping mechanism. Anyway, when I got my first call to collect an "ex" for pathology, I remember being stumped.

      Then what were you trying to say? It looks like you were trying to draw equivalence between crude workplace humor in your line of work and the tech communities's acceptance of misoginistic rape jokes. That is what the thread was about and that is the context I placed your reply in.

Men are raped; not just women. By the same logic there should be no dark humor involving murder since it makes things hostile for everyone (everyone can be murdered). Infact, there should be no text talking about violence since that would makes things hostile for everyone.
