- diN0bot 18y agoI don't know why you're voted down. It seems to me that the title once again misses the reasonable point hidden in the article. Communication is always important. How one communicates, or in this case talks about minorities, is important, as are addressing a complex problem in multiple ways (eg, with actions as well as communication).
- ahoyhere 18y agoDid you read the article? She talks about a gender-specific effort she was involved in, that didn't work and perhaps worked against promoting girls who game. Exceptionalism is a bad way to effect change... and nobody will bother trying to create pro-female environments, etc., without making them explicitly for women, which makes them exceptionalism. I, on the other hand, do create pro-female content, because I write for designers and right-brained people... and since I don't go "Learn Programming: For People With Boobs!" then I also help many right-brained men, too.
