These people have 0 perspective whatsoever. I would kill to have, say, encountering a chemistry website called "cispages" be the worst thing I have to deal with in life.

I was comparing social ostracizing to social ostracizing. Your comment doesn't even contain a strawman, it's just a pile of straw being yelled at. I am part of three of the minority categories you listed above as experiencing Seri

That's before my time! Haha. I know it's always been there, but it's gotten so much worse lately, or so it seems to me.

>"bro" is offensive because it excludes others by their gender. It's an awful exclusionary term and you shouldn't think it funny or ironic. >You're not taking this serious. Well gee, I wonder why.

I think that paper is very inspirational to people who love to stereotype others based on race, especially in a judgmental manner.

Nothing will placate the misogyny complaints, which is why they are best ignored.

People come up with all sorts of excuses when they fail, usually ones that place the blame on an external factor rather than internal (lack of work ethic, unsuitability for a role, etc). This is hardly new, or confined to a single gender. I

"If it's not about women, it's sexist." Ok.

Nah, you've got it about right. It's not offensive at all, and the contortions people are performing to make it so are quickly becoming quite mind boggling.

That would require actual effort/danger, which SJWs would never put themselves through. Moral superiority is their goal, not any sort of change.

You haven't noticed the horrible abuse of the word "hacking" lately? I'm surprised. Once something's mainstream, everyone tries to jump on it if they think it's considered cool. It's not really a women spe

One thing I've always loved about math and science and code is how gender neutral it is. Historically, sure, there's been some bias, but it's mostly a thing of the past. Equality of opportunity (which we are now approaching,

>It is offensive because it has high potential to create a hostile environment for women. Are you kidding? Maybe if they named it bitchpages instead of bropages. Bro is used in many ways, one of which is as a term of endearment. Even if
