Note the extreme lack of women commenting in this thread, as well as the lack of discussion of any of the substance of the livestream.
This thread is 100% nerdy dudes feeling offended by this event, plus other dudes attempting to counter this.
Is not this thread itself indicative of a giant problem?
- berrypicker 13y agoHere's the problem summarized by an old-time female hacker: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/girls-and-software http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/girls-and-software Whenever gender and software appears in a discussion, the same bs comes out every time. It's so predictable now you can just skip these sort of thread.
- nhangen 13y agoad hominem + sweeping generality FTW Seriously though, I am not a proponent of gender restricted events, but I have not commented on this particular thread because I wanted to watch the content first, and it's not really the place for such discussions. That said, others may feel differently, having not participated in prior conversations on this topic, and thus, the label you've applied to opponents is unnecessary and unfair.
- Crake 13y agoI like how being a man is considered an insult these days. Woman who disagrees with feminism? Damn men!
- Crake 13y ago>This thread is 100% nerdy dudes feeling offended "anyone who disagrees with me is a man! " There are plenty of women here. You're just choosing to ignore and erase their existence because it invalidates your religion.
