Witch-hunts were authoritarian campaigns of gendercide. A gross, systematic slaughtering of thousands upon thousands of women. It's egregiously callous for you to misuse the term in this way.
Perhaps you men "snark-hunt".
- fareesh 9y agoIt's not misuse, it's intentional. Men were not the target of witch hunts because they were the "incorrect" sex. Today, in cases where merit seemingly takes a backseat to diversity, men are the "incorrect" sex for some opportunities, like say if you want to speak at a node.js conference, or attend some special mentoring workshop. The opposite is not true, if you are not a man, there are no instances that I am aware of where you are openly denied or discouraged from pursuing an opportunity for that reason alone.
- rexpop 9y agoI think this is an inaccurate view of witch. How did you come to your understanding?
