I think you left this off. > the main reason is that they are, overwhelmingly, males Was that intentional? Do you disagree that tech is overwhelmingly male? Do you happen to be someone who believes in differences in the sexes? Just curious.

  The article clearly implies that one of the reasons why they "talk such nonsense" is because they are male, but no explanation is given - bog standard misandry that I take umbrage with.

    I'm going to assume you left it off intentionally if you can't even address it. Read it again. They narrow it two ways in addition to being male: "0. but the main reason is that they are, overwhelmingly, males 1. who come from narrow Stem (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) backgrounds 2. and are trapped in a particular mindset that the technology writer Evgeny Morozov called “solutionism”. It's not that they are male, it males who come from Stem with a particular solution oriented mindset. I think in a different context you would be less offended. We are talking about driven, solution oriented people. It's a bias. Biases are fine, we all have them, this article is just talking about it. I could ask again, would you agree that there are differences in the sexes? A different set of biases even?

        > I'm not offended in the slightest > what a patronizing and absurd reply I had to double check my replies! The author, nor me implied it wasn't about being male, in fact it is explicitly called out. Check out this question: "would you agree that there are differences in the sexes? A different set of biases even?" What mindless twaddle aren't you tolerating?

Unironically, yes. It would be totally different.

Find a woman with a narrow stem background and ask her what she thinks.
