It's almost as if your own individual experiences are not indicative of population-level trends at large
- joenot443 9y agoJust a friendly reminder as I noticed you're new - patronising, nonproductive comments like this don't go over as well here as they do on reddit.
- seizethecheese 9y agoYour comment is equally patronizing.
- shawndumas 9y agobut it was productive
- screaminghawk 9y agoI don't think the comment is nonproductive. The majority of "women in tech" issues like this post is referring to, are belittled/misunderstood due to the differences in individual experiences. It's a fair comment to point out at this sometimes works in the reverse as well (i.e. sometimes there are more woman and/or fewer problems).
- yung_endian 9y agoI've been lurking here since it started. It's not patronizing - it's pointing out a basic statistical fact. Has the bar on HN truly fallen so low that pointing out that anecdote != data is now considered rude?
- chrshawkes 9y ago"Has the bar on HN truly fallen so low that pointing out that anecdote != data is now considered rude?" yes... yes it has :)
- vacri 9y agoIt's really weird that you've been on the site for 10 years and only just now decided to bust forth with a handful of comments of this low quality.
- StavrosK 9y ago"Pointing out" is what you did, "rude" was how you did it. For example: "It's almost as if you don't understand that rudeness is about the tone instead of the content". Or: "It looks like you're trying to move the goalposts; would you like some help with that?" Or: "> 'It's not patronizing - it's pointing out a basic statistical fact' Interesting how you think the two are mutually exclusive." Etc.
