Very well said. In general, I wish people would support each other more in tech. Too often people have a 'deal with it attitude'.

The author points out that she didn't display any of those symptoms.

The entire point of the article is that the way schools grade may discriminate against boys. There are lots of articles about things that may discriminate against women. Society isn't perfect, writing articles that raise awareness is n

To try to be fair, life is often more about obeying arbitrary rules than mastering certain subjects. Many of the things named in the article are important life skills that should be taught and encouraged.

Does the usage of African instead of Guinean bother anyone else? Africa is widely not recognized as a continent of distinct countries and this isn't helping. It's like referring to people from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico as North

The changing the world line and the bit about a 'week of shame' sounded like complete BS. But leaks don't just affect panties, I've ruined many sets of sheets, expensive pairs of jeans and even a very nice dress. As a ve

If it prevents leaks like they claim it would be a huge improvement.

This is pretty amazing. I spent grades 5-12 worried about bleeding through to my pants in school. There's already so much going on at that age, dealing with 'learning to be a woman' was just more anxiety. Even as an adult who

The wikipedia article on Income inequality in the United States is surprisingly detailed and I highly recommend it if you have any interest on wealth. It's such a polarized topic that the comments almost immediately turn into inaccurat

The original slides were to the point and effective. The redesign makes them generically prettier at the expense of readability.

Yep. Where I grew up a small amount would get you jail time and it could affect your student. Most stayed away from it. Now I live in San Francisco and it's a bit of a different story here.

But it's not drivel. Men and women communicate differently, that's supported by many, many studies. She didn't accuse either sex of communicating incorrectly, which is the line you hear from SJWs. I think she made a good poin

>Disclosure: I'm a privileged white male. Part of the article explains that women and men communicate differently, I wouldn't enjoy being counseled in that tone. No one is right or wrong. Just different.

And then she can never work again. Most settlements pay out less than $100,000, not nearly enough to live off. Not worth being blacklisted from future employment because the guys in charge think women need to "lighten up".

Seriously? What do you think is more likely to happen if the woman submits?- 1. She gets a promotion she doesn't totally doesn't deserve because she submitted to sexual harassment by her her boss at work. She's happy about th

Why don't you seek out or create a group for Asians and/or work towards raising awareness about the racial discrimination you've experienced? I'm not highly-education and lived well below the poverty line for the majorit

You don't have to be an expert in a field to criticize it's culture.

Black and hispanics make a combined 30% of the U.S. population but 7.14% of tech workers, if we were a true meritocracy you wouldn't expect those numbers. Of course, this isn't the fault of the tech industry. People in lower socio

I never, ever blamed the companies, I agree that " not enough black and hispanic people are being exposed to technology as an industry".

I'm confused, black and hispanics make a combined 30% of the U.S. population but 7.14% of tech workers and that seems reasonable? What am I missing here?

This is why I get annoyed when I hear people claim that their workplace is a true meritocracy and 20 of 20 employees are white males. So only white males have the intellectual talent to make it in tech? I totally get that it's not mean

I think I work at the "high-profile agile consultancy" you're talking about. I've been there two months and I still have no idea who I talk to about X, where X is a variety of things. Before getting staffed on a project

One of the most frustrating things about moving out of poverty to the upper-middle/upper class is being an example of "what a little hard work can do". They always forget to mention how so many people like myself have had to

Yeah, this actually looks awesome. It address everything I hate about working with icons as a mainly backend developer.
