- SimHacker 13y agoAre they still selling misogynistic t-shirts? http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Perl_is_my_bitch http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Perl_is_my_bitch It's so telling how Randal Schwartz, purveyor of hooters booth babes and publisher of "amihooternot", chimes in about how it's bad because it gives Perl an image of being the tool of "teen perl hacker misogynist guys," and that's harder to sell to Corporate America. Yet it doesn't even occur to him to mention that it's also bad because it's WRONG and disrespectful to women and offensive to people who aren't sexist. The Perl community certainly has a long standing and well earned reputation of being "teen perl hacker misogynist guys," that drives away both women and Corporate America.

- berntb 13y agoYou are talking about something from year 2000 -- and ... ah, you've written 5 troll comments, the last 4 in 12 minutes. There were less than 30 total comments in this discussion, including those five. You must be the saddest troll on HN. I'll not feed you. Sorry for not brightening your "life".
