It's also dishonest to put such words in my mouth, when they were never said ;) The disconnect, IMO, stems from the fact that women are fighting, and men are not. Or, perhaps better said, men are just beginning to frame an opposition.

You fail to grasp one crucial distinction - patriarchy is not a term that labels all men. It is a system. The crimes of patriarchy are not automatically the fault of all men. It is perfectly possible to be a man and against patriarchy (you&

Actually, patriarchy does espouse such a tenet. The household is meant for the woman, it is her responsibility, while a man is outside, working for the family. Even if they were not beneath him, an ideal man in patriarchy simply wouldn&#x27

What are you talking about? :D I meant, given that we are right now facing this problem of high suicide rates among men, it is definitely too early and too defeatist to ascribe it to biological differences. (If that is what you were trying

What's really tragic is that you don't have any actual reply, other than immediately resorting to such a condescending tone and deliberate misinterpretation of what I said.

We could start listing examples of injustices, each one of us could find them, and we would only get farther from finding any solution, or farther from just having a meaningful discussion. I am not negating that there are prejudice against

That's extremely reductionist. We are human beings, not reproduction machines. The concept of "worth" is much more complex. I don't think a woman can simply bear children, and she's good. I presume you were trying t

P.S. The way Hacker News is "moderated" sucks. It was really easily predictable that this would bring me downvotes, irrelevant of how well or poor it may have been written. Dissenting opinions have little place here.

Demonization of all things male? That's just ridiculous. There are nasty things both men and women have to struggle with. I'd say the problem with male suicides probably exists for longer than 20 years. Patriarchy has existed for

Queue male rights activists to explain to us how this is all feminism's fault :/ Tragic, really. Things like this seem to obviously stem from patriarchy. But instead of dismantling patriarchy, a small group of men simply blame eve

All three can be explained away :D Norway = oil, Luxemburg & Ireland = tax havens. The GDP-based worker productivity definition is pretty useless, IMO.

So, there was no third group, a group taken off meds and then put on no therapy whatsoever, to represent a baseline? Perhaps that would be unethical. I'm just curious how high the relapse rate would be in that group.

yes, prejudice is prejudice. and prejudice may be a facilitator of oppression (although one could talk of chicken and egg here). but prejudice is still NOT oppression. it takes more than prejudice for oppression to take place. some people,

I must admit, I always feel like I am missing something in these discussions. Like I didn't get some memo... I just don't expect a DB like MongoDB to guarantee consistency. The whole story around NoSQL and the likes was to enable

My god, why can't white cis males handle any criticism? It's as if people live in paralyzing fear of being called a name. And then can't wait for an opportunity to say "Aha! You're now exactly like your oppressors!&

Great work! And I could not agree more with the conclusion. It's like people think that they either have to get exactly what they want, str8 away, or the cause is not worth their effort at all. But if everyone chipped in a little, as m

As I commented there, it should be very simple to switch the stack frame you are currently inspecting in the debugger. At least it's a piece of cake in C#, both in MonoDevelop and Visual Studio. OTOH, putting everything into every lamb

First, I believe wanting to fix broken windows and technical debt is everyone's goal. The author mentions a couple of times that fixing technical debt is just a stacks' preference. I disagree with that. Not least because fixing te

I did not know that, thank you. I guess the key is in the phrase "as long as you got the right libraries"? Kernel+X alone is not enough... There should be some simpler solution to this than deploying your app in a container, but I
