Any faith I have in yahoo's recovery is definitely fading. They are either guilty of buying hype marketing about technology (which demonstrates that yahoo has no interest in actual innovation) or buying technology that doesn't work very wel

Yes, treating people differently will almost certainly result in people being treated the same. Not really though, it has never worked and will never work probably because it is illogical. This is part of the reason why so called "male priv

No, I am saying that people don't like being segregated (not that they should not like, do not try to put a different spin on it) and as a person who has interacted with other people my whole life I do have a right to say that. Yes, women a

Please explain to me where I made an assertion about how women should feel. I said that girls will wonder why they are being treated differently and I said that people do not like being segregated. What words am I putting in whose mouths? W

Are you suggesting that we cannot debate this issue unless we are female? Because, if so, then you need to copy and paste your comment on 90% of the comments in this thread including your own. (I assume you are not a women because you said

The problem is that it is using discrimination to fight discrimination. What about the boy who can't afford the tuition for the computer science course, his best friend, a girl who he has just introduced to programming, gets a bursary to th

I would think that the obvious thing is to stop differentiating between men and women. Stop treating women as some special case that need gender specific forums, consultants, hackathons, events et cetera. If you want to stop sexism, stop pe
