Feminism is a cultural Marxist ideology which tries to explain the world through the lens of class conflict - an overclass (male) which is oppressive and therefore evil and an underclass (female) which is oppressed and therefore good. This

GitHub is known to have a dubstep and IPA culture. If they want to be a standard bearer for feminism in tech, the transition is going to be difficult and they are going to take some hits. The two cultures don't mix well. It sounds like

The facts get you the first 200 upvotes. Accusations of "sexism" get the next 500.

A couple hundred mostly-males built a company that was wildly successful where they loved to work. Now it sounds like they have to destroy that, build a culture that is professional and antiseptic, to make feminists feel welcome.

The modern world was invented in a cosmopolitan Europe. I think we should recognize that and preserve the best parts of that legacy, and yes, even be proud of it. I don't buy into the whole white-guilt complex

This seems to be asserting some sort of bizarre serf-like hierarchy where men aren't even supposed to look at their superiors

So when a woman has a problem at work, it is "sexism"?

There are plenty of scientifically well-documented cognitive differences between men and women, though the OP doesn't sound informed on them, and yes it is considered impolite to know about them if you're not working in a psycholo

It's shocking and unconscionable. Some people are even given a leg up by parents that care for them and sacrifice for them and push them to succeed. Those nazis will be first against the wall when the revolution comes. Don't they

I find it bizarre that anti-white racism from a Marxist perspective is an academic discipline with reputable journals and funded by the federal government in a majority white country. As far as I could tell in university, most of the profes

Social justice is largely a white self-loathing thing, a perverse way to mark yourself as one of the cultural elite. There's a reason why Amy Chua is the public face of books she cowrites with her white husband. "White guy says th

I feel bad for him, but his second most recent blog post is odious: why he only retweets females. http://dashes.com/anil/2014/02/a-checklist-of-stupid-things-... Maybe karma works in mysterious ways

Poor whites and Hispanics aren't nearly as dangerous as poor (young, male) blacks. There is not another comparable group that manages to commit 27% of murders as 1% of the population. That's a huge ratio. Keep in mind, most black

Black people really do commit a lot of crime in America, it's not just a "stereotype". And particularly, young black people, and particularly young black males. Black males between the ages of 14 and 24 commit 27% of all murd

I don't get the romanticization of the under class. In poor neighborhoods, there are lots of noise, litter, and crime and few good role models. Why would you want that in your neighborhood? To prove how open-minded you are?

Free markets should only reduce irrational discrimination based on race. If discrimination helps your business, it is rational, and will continue. For example, if 5% of blue people trash your house, and you can't distinguish the 5% f

Have you never looked at the FBI crime statistics by race? Asians commit almost zero crime in America, and they earn more money on average than whites. Maybe stereotypes exist because they reflect data?

What I'm trying to say is not all racial stereotypes describe a false belief, though it is fashionable to think so.

by tw268 13y ago
What do you call a stereotype when it is backed by statistical data? The a priori belief that is most common is that no stereotypes are true. It's the polite thing to believe. But if you are of a certain analytical mindset, you can be

What is feminism, if not the actions of feminists? I've seen this with my own eyes. And the message of "Lean In" and the like is very much against the traditional female lifestyle. Prioritizing family over work is called &quo

A pretty big racial cognitive gap remains after adjusting for income, at least in America. Poor whites do better on cognitive tests than wealthy African Americans: http://glpiggy.net/2013/03/19/a-sociologist-l

Feminists give their girls toys typically associated with males and male professions. They seem mortified that their girls might want to be veterinarians, teachers, nurses, or mothers. Thereby, they devalue all the women who have acted like

Feminists believe that traditional female behavior is bad/useless and needs to be eliminated. We tell girls that to be worthwhile, they need to live lives like men. I never understood this. If people are happy and productive in traditi

Minority set-asides wouldn't be my answer. It seems the government needs the best contractors it can get. You'll notice that private companies never do that stuff because they suffer if they don't get results.

You're talking about the Great Divergence, the historical curiosity starting in 1400 or so when the development of Europe left the rest of the world behind: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Divergence
