I don't understand what point you're trying to make. You assert that the discussion is immediately over once the word 'sexism' is mentioned, with no proof to back up this assertion. Why does 'sexism' immediately and irrevocably equate to "v

This blog posts lists no agenda, broad, 'feminist' or otherwise. I respectfully suggest that you may be assuming a broader context than is warranted.

Not countering your central point really but I'd note that the distribution is pretty skewed[1], i.e. the 300k+ group is a plurality in some neighborhoods. [1] http://envisioningdevelopment.net/map

Heck if you have a recent gnu xargs you can add -P n and xargs will split the list out n ways and run them in parallel. Sort of like the first step of a poor-man's mapreduce. Reduce, on the other hand, is a pain; a simple > $$.out or si

Well said. Most problems are actually people problems. Like other problems having awareness of their nature can help you sort them out when you're in them and occasionally avoid them before they happen. The biggest lesson I got from this ty
