And therein lies the problem: there was no misonogy there. It seems it was either an honest misguided attempt to help or an honest well guided attempt to help (I leave it to you to judge) that was shot down. It is ironic that the same people who'd happily blame all men, happily blame all white people except themselves etc are so dead set on claiming that everyone else is something *ist. Many of us aren't. I've put effort into the issue myself to help women get jobs in tech. For no other reason than wanting to help them - and maybe the company. More than once. But I'm so tired of being told I'm a racist and what not. By people like on PyCon, the super privileged woman who got two devs fired over hearsay while posting far worse stuff on Twitter herself. I guess it is this mindless stupid hypocrisy we react to. Am I privileged? You bet! Compared to 94% of the people in the world I'm privileged. Does that mean I should be ok with being picked on by ten times more privileged people working for Google? My answer is no. By the time someone joins Google or other similar companies they can safely stop calling other people privileged whatever race and gender those others have. Edit: except, on a case-by-case basis for their colleagues, certain politicians and movie stars and other exceptions :-)
