Why does nobody make this argument about Nursing, or Teaching, or Social Work, or Psychology, or any of the "Female dominated" fields? When men don't go into a field, they find a way to blame men for it, when women don't

This is probably a precursor to "Sponsored Tweets" appearing in whatever view you are looking at (I don't have a twitter account, so I don't know much about it). So this is the run-up to injecting advertising, similar to

Pure hyperbole, and incorrect at that, and it's equally clear where you stand. In case you are still reading: The poster I was replying to didn't commit a subtle act of prejudice, they made an overtly racist statement about white

You were always free to not use new MS operating systems. Nobody forced you to make any MS accounts or use Window 8,10 or whatever, so if you installed Windows 8 and didn't like it, that doesn't make MS evil, just don't use i
