"teenage" girls aren't the height of professionalism, I think was the thrust there. The use of the word "like" frequently denotes this. Nothing wrong with girls, period. But teenagers aren't looked up to as the paragons of professionalism.
- a13n 9y agoAre teenage boys the height of professionalism? I think the gender comment is unnecessary, irrelevant, and harmful.
- jbeja 9y agoStop trolling around SJW.
- kentrado 9y agoOh, come off it already. It is clear what he meant, you are just trying really hard to be offended by something.
- khazhoux 9y agoThis was so unprofessional, it's like it was written by a black teenager! ...is that better? Or is it more obvious now that the original comment was an insult to girls?
- peterwwillis 9y agoNo, it was unnecessarily sexist and demeaning.
- delphinius81 9y agoYes it was clear the poster was being derogatory to girls. It's also clear you are trying to normalize and justify such behavior. Both are unnecessary.
- tdfx 9y agoThere are negative traits about both teenage boys and teenage girls. The writing style more closely matches teenage girls in this instance, so that's why the connection was made. Sexism exists in tech but this is not it.
- fergyfresh 9y agoClearly the poster was talking about the excessive use of `like` which he deems as the typical vocabulary of a teenage girl which is what you're attempting to be upset by. It had nothing to do with teenage boys being significantly more professional than teenage girls, or anything of the sort.
- scriptkiddy 9y agoYou're making a mountain out of a molehill.
- snerbles 9y agoNot to mention the wacky animated GIFs every other paragraph.
- mrisoli 9y agoWell, those are all content marketing techniques, GIFs and casual language speak to the author's target demographic I suppose.
