You must be easily amused then. Satya Nadella was an example of people in generally being required to speak in a politically correct way. Haven't you heard of intersectionality? Nadella could still be accused of having male privilege in spite of being non-White.
And your analysis is very shallow. Of course speech was "free" in the legal sense, that is not the issue. The issue is that even though his honest opinion was that in the long run, women's approach might not be a big disadvantage, he was forced to recant and give the "right" answer.
- tomlock 11y agoI am easily amused and I also know what intersectionality is. I'm interested in why you have the perspective that Satya was being honest and then recanted, since he pretty clearly stated that he misspoke, and it is easy to see how he misspoke. My perspective is he was speaking in terms of how tech ought to be for women, but failed to mention that the situation for women was currently different. The idea that women ought to be able to trust the system is a given, but Satya didn't say "but it currently isn't so" and in his apology he cleared that up. Good on him!

That's just completely wrong, watch the video again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndm_RSvAgO4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndm_RSvAgO4
- tomlock 11y agoI disagree. Could you help me understand why you think he backed down rather than just clarifying his comments?
- formulaT 11y agoIf you watch the video, there is nothing that suggests Satya is not talking about the way things are in the workplace, not they way they should be. I just don't see where you are getting this idea from. Do you have a single source for this?
