Online sexism is going nowhere until people start asking >why< other have such hateful thoughts and feelings rather than just serving up the usual diatribe foo-fa-raw of nerds versus angry women.
- OpieCunningham 14y agoAngry women? Right. No one will ask why if they aren't aware of the problem. This is called shining a light on reality. It's how everything gets addressed.
- WalterSear 14y agoNo one is ever asking why. That's not to imply that the transgressors have an excuse for their bad behaviour, just that castigation gets us nowhere, particularly in an pseudo-anonymous environment.
