Watch the last 3rd of this Stanford University lecture on Human Sexual Behavior http://youtu.be/LOY3QH_jOtE (I think the relevant part starts at 1:13) I think Jaye might be right.

While its true that the majority of people in tech jobs or dangerous working class jobs are man, I understand why some people see misogyny when you wrote "white collar men need to stop apologizing for doing the difficult programming jobs" b

You might want to tell your girlfriend that joking about domestic violence is very dangerous to you as a male.

I agree with everything you said but the liberals part... I think we should be careful to assume that all liberals are feminists. This can turn off the liberals that have noticed the misandry in feminism and are trying to learn more.

Sorry for the large reply but please bear with me. >Also, patriarchy doesn't imply that all men have incredible power, any more than institutionalized slavery meant that all white people had incredible power. Patriarchy also misuses men

I agree that a job post for brogrammer might not seem welcoming towards woman. >You realize that bro culture and brogramming are actual, existing things started by guys, yes? Please tell us your definition of brogramming and brogrammer.

>But most groups who say "I'm not anti woman, just anti feminism" are flat out patriarchal, whether the flavour is religious or "men's rights", it's the same garbage. Unfortunately my perception is similar to yours. I have seen enough n

It seems natural that very little attention is being placed on mans issues. I think just selectively pointing out gender issues will not prove that the specific gender has it worse. I think instead of always assuming that woman has it worse

I just wanted to point out that being anti-feminist does not necessarily mean anti woman or anti womans rights. I do agree that sexist jokes are a bad thing and not only when done against woman.

Are you saying that porn only objectify woman? I see the sexual objectification concept often used as a way to demonise natural human sexual attraction. If man and woman ignored physical appearance and resourcefulness we would probably be e

AFAIK, ycombinator forum software does not make a sex/gender distinction. I don't see how it could be sexist. Being labeled a sexist is a terrible thing. Saying that a discussion by man on the subject is sexist seems potentially sexist beca

by agateform 14y ago
Generalizing 25-35 males working in the industry as manchildren can be seen as misandry (hatred of man). Misogyny does not justify misandry.

I searched for brogrammer with Indeed, simplyhired, startuply and craigslist and haven't found a single job opening. The "brogrammer" buzzword does not seem to be a trend.

I'm not sure but its possible people have downvoted your comment because of heavy feminist bias on some of the links. There are people that see a lot of hatred of man in feminism. This link might help explain why http://www.womenagainstmen
