Did you read the post?
Yes. Remember, I linked to it. And, as painful as it was, I did read the whole thing.
White men, on the other hand, have the power to not hire her, to fire her, and so forth.
So the implication is that a majority of these white men in position of power are bigoted? I think an alternative explanation for her not getting hired is that maybe she didn't meet their standards. I understand that this is maybe a difficult conclusion to accept if you're a female supremacist with a fragile ego.
Why are you mounting an all-out attack against her because you were reminded of her thesis?
I think the attack is well-deserved for reasons that should be obvious by now.
- jordigh 9y agoPlease address my points. If you read the whole thing, you should have read that she says that your self hate isn't what she wants. She explicitly says that's useless. If white men aren't responsible, then who is? Her perceived attack is completely without power. She has no power to harm you. She addresses this in the post. So why do you feel so hurt? Why is it so painful? Who hurt you, buddy? Please remember that your guilt is pointless. Pointless. Nobody wants you to self-hate. Your intentions can be noble and pure, your prejudices (which you do have, just like anyone else) can be unintentional, and you can still be taking up unwarranted space.
- SidiousL 9y agoIf white men aren't responsible, then who is? Maybe she is responsible for her own failures. What a radical idea is that? Who hurt you, buddy? Please, I'm not your buddy. you can still be taking up unwarranted space According to whom? A deranged feminist blogger? Maybe her opinion does not matter for a reason.

- jordigh 9y ago> Maybe she is responsible for her own failures. What a radical idea is that? She's not talking about herself, but about the whole thing. The whole imbalance. So you think it's black people's fault that there aren't more of them in academia? White people have done nothing wrong, it's black people who aren't trying hard enough? You don't think that is a racist idea? It ignores the heritage of centuries of oppression. Who hurt you? Why are you hurting so much? What are you so afraid of?
- dang 9y agoWould you please stop engaging in ideological flamewar on HN? It is not what this site is for. I haven't banned your account because you haven't used HN primarily for this. Nevertheless, feeding trolls is trolling in its own right. It perpetuates the worst dynamics of the internet and those are what we have to proactively moderate lest this site be engulfed in flames. So please don't do this again.
- jordigh 9y agoSorry. I figured this thread was already dead except to the two of us, so no one would be bothered if I kept talking to him. I guess the mods still see everything? I so desperately want to reach out to him and people like him. I would have moved on to email, if I could have found one. I wish there was a private message function on HN.
