The implication is still there that making it a guy is okay because sexualizing males is somehow materially different / more acceptable than sexualizing females

The implication is still there that making it a guy is okay because sexualizing males is somehow materially different / more acceptable than sexualizing females. Perhaps it is with respect to the minority population of women in tech, but it is not more acceptable when we consider the implicit judgement of homoeroticism that makes this sexualization less damaging than the sexualization of a female.
- fjh 15y agoI took the GP to mean "make it a guy, because singling out a women because of her sex in a mostly male environment is not cool". I may be wrong, but principle of charity and all that. I'm definitely not trying to defend homophobia, totally agree with you on that.
- nailer 15y agoHey there. "make it a guy, because singling out a women because of her sex in a mostly male environment is not cool" Yep, you got it right. Good comedy always aims upwards. Women put up with this shit a lot, so it's not funny.
