HN is not mature enough to hold a discussion related to gender issues.
- Dewie 12y agoYour concern is duly noted sir/ma'am.
- walru 12y agoI would instead gather it's entirely too superfluous and divisive for the HN crowd who is routinely above such pettiness. I fall back to Carmack on this issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzmbW4ueGdg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzmbW4ueGdg
- throwawaymaroon 12y agoQuickly proving sukilot's point, are you? Gender issues are petty and superfluous?
- Aloisius 12y agoIs there a online forum anywhere that is?
- beachstartup 12y agoah yes, standard issue anti-male shaming tactic #7. if they don't agree with you, call them immature! it's so easy! you don't even have to respond to what they say! or even read what they say! also, try these handy dandy variants, always just a mouse click away: * call them virgins * call them bitter * call them angry * call them cowards * call them jealous * call them gay * call them crazy * call them selfish * call them ugly (ouch!) and of course, everyone's favorite: * call them creepy! there's literally no recourse for that one! super effective!
- Dewie 12y agoThankfully people don't tend to get away with such blatantly dishonest tactics on HN, in my opinion. At least they would have to be much more indirect about it.
- throwawaymaroon 12y agoI didn't think calling HN immature meant shaming males, personally. I just don't think this place can handle the divisive nature of the passion inherent to the subject. And it's not like any forum really can, as Aloisius says. What's so wrong with dispassionately noting that this topic is going to be a toxic flame war?
- sanxiyn 12y agoHN is not male, therefore calling HN immature can't be anti-male shaming tactic.
