Do you really think describing women in technology as "the females" is something that should pass without being called out?

- err4nt 11y agoWHOAH. Did you just equate the female sex to the gender of women? That sounds very gender-normative for a discussion like this!

- gluelogic 11y agoI expressed no opinion whatsoever on that issue. My comment was intended to be a kind of "-v" flag. Am I supposed to just know who the people the poster was referencing are? This is a discussion board. If you have a statement to make, what's the point in shrouding it in such a vague kind of statement? What I wanted to know was "should I take your comment seriously enough to do enough searching to give it context on my own, or should I just ignore it?"
- venomsnake 11y agoThis was calling me out ... sorry didn't notice. But I did it on purpose - no woman around me has ever had problem with beer or pong. They only had problems with running out of beer. So these specimens that take offense are like a different species to me.
