Why? If you don't actually elaborate, why does this matter to anyone else?

That's completely unprofessional and demonstrates a poor lack of understanding. This illusion of a "patriarchy" is silly. That shouldn't require that kind of elaboration to the common individual. There's a reason why this article is trending downward on HN, think about it.

  "Silly" "unprofessional" and such is all relative. I think identification and resistance to the social condition called patriarchy is legitimate, demonstrates a clear understanding, and would reflect neutrally if not positively on a person's ability to conduct themselves profressionally. Hey look, we are nowhere new than where we were before asserting these things at each other. I've thought about "it", don't worry.

    > "Silly" "unprofessional" and such is all relative. To some extent, but in a technical field such as this being unable to determine that such a tag line as "bitchy software engineer. doing what i can to smash the patriarchy." being unprofessional demonstrates a deep, deep failure to understand the social implications. > I think identification and resistance to the social condition called patriarchy is legitimate It actually isn't at all, given females have been given more and more options in the workplace. This is 2015, not late 1800's. Thinking as such again demonstrates a failed understanding. > I've thought about "it", don't worry. Yeah I don't think so at all, and given that this article has fallen off the frontpage and [flagkilled] confirms my claim. I can lead a horse to water, but I can't get you to drink. Nevertheless, I can't waste anymore time on your flawed understanding of reality.

      > It actually isn't at all, given females have been given more and more options in the workplace. Women still hold a tiny, tiny percentage of leadership positions. Maybe they're inferior, maybe they don't want leadership positions, or maybe the system is stacked against them. Having spoken to multiple women in my day, I'm fairly confident the first two options aren't it. Moreover, numerous scientific studies have found the last one to definitely be the case, random Internet opinions notwithstanding.

Well, honestly, I don't care to keep 'bitchy' people around me, regardless of who/what they/it is.
