"bitchy software engineer. doing what i can to smash the patriarchy."
Doesn't HR vet self-proclaimed troublemakers anymore, or is it OK to hire anti-establishment people as long as they're of the right flavor?
If I had "asshole software engineer. doing what I can to smash the matriacrchy" in my twitter bio, I would be figuratively destroyed.
- Dylan16807 12y agoDepends on what the hell you mean by "matriarchy". The problem there isn't political views, it's when your wording implies you're so blinded by bigotry you've lost touch with reality. You can favor this or that party but don't tell me you're disappointed in the korean takeover of alabama.
- ebfe 12y agoThe word "matriarchy" is an accurate characterization of our society to the same extent that "patriarchy" is. The former conveys how men are overrepresented at the bottom of society while failing to address their overrepresentation at the top, while the latter does the opposite.
- detcader 12y agoYou would be "figuratively destroyed"? What does this mean and how do you come to this conclusion? I don't think the quoted bio describes a "troublemaker", could you explain this?
- geofft 12y agoI thought we're all disruptors here. So if a company's trying to disrupt things, its HR should be hiring self-proclaimed troublemakers.
