When does a HN thread ever have a fruitful end? Most threads I read here on the topic end the same way: One side is convincing, the other is not. This topic in particular is important because it concerns an specific document, and the facts therein, rather than a more subjective interpretation of events. Whenever these claims are made, references (from the memo) are requested, and never/rarely supplied.
I agree this is repetitive, but so is the repeated lie of sexism. Since "a lie oft repeated becomes truth" - the boring repetition is simply a means to prevent this.
- ashtonkem 5y agoI find it really fascinating that your response to my frustration on the subject is to attempt to engage me on the subject I visibly and clearly am sick of. You seem to be under the impression that I am interested in this matter; you are wrong.

- rendall 5y agoIf only there were some way to not read something we are uninterested in. But alas, we live in a world where we have no choice in what to read. Until that day comes when we can just choose not to read something, I guess we will have to resort to... raging because other people read and discuss topics we would rather not read about ourselves.
- CRConrad 5y agoYou utterly misunderstood the comment you replied to. Re-read it, and maybe you'll understand. If not, maybe my re-formulation of it will help: It is not about convincing you. It's about not letting your wrong-headed viewpoint stand unopposed, sine otherwise the preponderance of such unopposed viewpoints might give uninformed bystanders the impression that they're actually true.
