> and does not happen any more frequently to women than to men
You might as well be stating the world isn't round, or the sky isn't blue, or any other plainly obvious fact that has been proven countless times. Of course, you'll say sexism in the industry really doesn't exist, and ignore the thousands of women detailing their experiences[1] on the subject, so this isn't really for you. This is for the random reader who might not be as pigheaded and oblivious.
> When people constantly make a huge fuss about imaginary misogyny
Did "imaginary" suddenly change meanings? Because either it did, or your head is so far in the sand, you've been ignoring some of the most[2] recent[3] incidents.[4] If you haven't been paying attention to the programming and tech community, you really shouldn't be speaking about it, you know? It just makes you look like a jackass, and you wouldn't want that, right?

- Sssnake 13y ago>Of course, you'll say sexism in the industry really doesn't exist No, I say it is rare, no more common than in any other industry, and goes in both directions. But debating what I say rather than a strawman is too much effort right? >you've been ignoring some of the most[2] recent[3] incidents.[4] None of those are examples of misogyny. If you do not understand the meaning of the word, you can use a dictionary to find out. >It just makes you look like a jackass, and you wouldn't want that, right? I don't mind if a histrionic sjw with a victim complex thinks I am a jackass.
