"Women make boys want to burn things".
Women are the source of all this, us, hanging around on hacker news; learning, digesting, trying, applying and executing. In the hope of getting successful at what we're actually trying to do, look good and buy ourselves, indirectly or some directly... women.

- palish 18y agoJust pointing out... You picked the one quote that was likely to turn an otherwise interesting discussion into a Reddit-esque sarcasm pile-on. So far it has.
- lucumo 18y agoAllow me to explain my other post. I wasn't being sarcastic. I was merely pointing out that this women-are-only-there-to-drive-men-to-better-themselves is a bit silly. There are a lot of women that are constantly improving themselves too. And not just by putting on make-up and practicing their "sexy look". I have no doubt there are women here and the fact that I can't pin-point them is a good thing. It means that as a group we stopped caring about such meaningless (in the intellectual endeavour we're all pursuing) things like gender. It's simply not important and it shouldn't be. But my original post was probably too short to convey correctly what I was trying to convey, and for that I apologise.
