The guy had put "married with kids" in a prominent location to imply a stable life and dependability. Now if you're trying to guess why a woman would do the same, you might think to yourself, 'well she must know this doe

What, exactly, are these abstract phrases of which you speak? Does how the phrase actually gets used matter to you? Or do we all get to invent imaginary conversations for abstract phrases and lilly-white motivations for our (imaginary) pro

The statement would have been true millenia ago and will probably remain true beyond all our lifetimes. So not necessarily.

You're wrong about the consensus thing, from the perspective of people who use words like 'patriarchy' in a off-hand no-explanation-required fashion. An appeal to consensus - never mind being logical, consistent or mindful of context - woul

You're conceding too much. High status men have had advantageous circumstances and treatment for a long time. Men are competitors & not particularly kind towards those below them, especially those of no inherent reproductive value... ca

Yes, I'm sure this has been thought about before, but what would happen if we threw the idea of everybody seeing the same order out the window? The comments upvoted by people whose comments you have upvoted would have added weight for examp

>It's also possible that your perspective on feminist issues is distorted enough that while you're interpreting this as smarmy and self-congratulatory, it is in fact reasonable and well-argued. Right? It's always possible, but that's pr

Possibly, but irrelevant. I think he is addressing male and female feminists - women who don't think their voices are heard and men who've already had some sort of come-to-Jesus moment regarding "privilege". To me - not exactly anti-feminis

They're not his intended audience IMHO - people like you (who already approve of his politics) are.

Right, my personal belief from the various accounts is that what happened was so innocuous as to not warrant any reaction. I'll freely admit I'm reading between the lines and extrapolating. If it did warrant a reaction I don't think there w

It has the form of a counter-argument but its content is tautalogical, as with my example - your bare-naked assertion to the contrary notwithstanding. "PyCon <i>does not condone</i> nor participate in such actions" You've ju

This is argument ad vacua (I made that up). That is, if the employer fired the guy was living in vacuum where public relations, sexual harassment suits or the feminist movement's message entire had had no impact whatsoever on their decision

Of course it's fair to hold "witnesses" and "reporters" responsible for the consequence of what they say. The person responsible for the speech that was reported are the people speaking; the person responsible for the reportage of the speec

What a bizarrely meaningless statement. "I went to the shop like you asked. That note you left me about wanting milk, while accurate, is just that: a note." It's a procedure for handling harassment. It tells you what to do and what not to d

I read this at 800 wpm (adjust this down @ 10-20% if a test I did a while back still stands) fairly comfortably using http://www.spreeder.com/app.php . I find it very much easier to stay "in the zone" using it.

Somewhat newbie programmer here. On lesson 6, "Otherwise", the default code seems to be wrong to me. It takes input from prompt() & assesses it as if it were an int/float, not a string. The lesson progresses with an incorrect solution (
