Criticizing a woman, even calling her a bitch, is not misogyny. Misogyny is hating women because they are women. What OP described is just heckling. And what OP did is white knighting, i.e. a man defending a woman, because she's a woma

Funny, "Dog-whistle" is the loudest dog-whistle I know, for strawmanning. "We all know what you really mean, wink wink, nod nod, and therefor you are a bigot / racist / etc."

I wonder how much of this regrexit sentiment is actually present and how much of it is just isolated incidents being held up as if they are representative. By the same media that predicted the outcome entirely wrong.

Far worse. You, like many others, miss the most important part of DongleGate. She shamed the supposed dongle-joke offender on Twitter with their picture, which was unambiguously against the Code of Conduct, for it bans harassing photography

TLDR: Mr Tyson pissed off the wrong people on Twitter (guess who) so now it's open season.

So that's reason to treat employees like lepers and impose your paranoia on them? You weren't taking his feelings into a count, you simply declared them as something to be managed, and you as the authority. Did it ever occur to yo

See, the problem is that the people who complain about this are also the ones who say it's valuable to add women to a group of men (or indeed the reverse), because it results in more balanced decision making. It can't be both. Eit

I can criticize the way she's handling this without having to believe she's guilty.

"Victim blaming" implies you know for sure who the victim is. Given that this is nothing but one big he-said-she-said, I will instead reserve judgement. We have someone who's been accused of being unable to take criticism and

It absolutely can be an attack on a much larger movement because those statistics are cited over and over and over again in said movement. Similarly, the Duluth model has directly shaped domestic violence policy and support despite being co

"Unreal Engine 4" is marketing buzzspeak. WebGL is modelled after OpenGL ES 2. Its GLSL support is massively outdated. It lacks features like multiple render targets (used by any deferred renderer in the XB360 era, e.g. Unreal Eng

Eh? "Git undo" should restore the state of the repository to what it was before I typed the last command. How is this not the simplest and most intuitive implementation of this feature? Unix geeks, you make my head hurt with your

WebGL is a deliberately limited but secure sandbox based on a spec for mobile devices that is two major releases out of date and makes an Xbox 360 look like science fiction. Asm.js is an enormous hack where we limit the computational expres

Isn't it a problem then that Git does not expose or visualize its internal model in any comprehensible way to its end users? That and the lack of instant undo seem ridiculous for a program designed to manage change.

The scam only works for those scared into removing themselves. Since the scammers have already admitted they gave away info anyway... there is no reason to trust them or give them money.

No. This is like if I witnessed the police commissioner bludgeoning someone to death with a diamond-encrusted poker, took the bloodied murder weapon as evidence to show to media, and was then accused of being a jewel thief who should face h

Yes, what happened was that people are now more free to choose their occupation, which is shown to increase the stereotypical occupation choices of both men and women in practically every country in the world: http://psych.fuller
