    How has Microsoft shown that strategy to be a dud? Surface RT didn't sell too well, but the Surface Pro has sold out a number of times. As a matter of fact, they're re-upping on th…

    When are we going to get tags that describe user interfaces instead of documents?

    Tits are part of people. I have tits. People have tits and I like people and I like their tits. Without people, there are no tits. How many different ways can I say this? I don't l…

    There was no "prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex" here though. Obviously not everyone agrees what is sexist.

    Who are you telling this to and why? Do you realize that nobody is ever going to see your comment? You're not too bright are you?

    You should learn how to think logically about things and then you won't be so offended all the time at the world around you. Nobody fucking threatened or abused you - that's just y…

    I responded to your assertion that: > Given the response that occurred in the media and in general... So no, it's not a derailing tactic. And if you didn't notice, this thread is t…

    Does "the media" regularly objectify women or not in your opinion or not? Why not just tell me the truth instead of asking me to cite you on your own opinion? (I just can't imagine…

    A word can't be racist. A word can be used by racists, but the word itself - no. There is a whole spectrum out there. The word "nigger" is a term of endearment for many.

    Yeah, great argument. So if you hear a drum, you have no concept of a drummer? No, you're right - men who see just a pair of tits think "that's all I need - nothing attached, just …

    Please prove to me that the majority of women or even a large portion are offended. Nobody has done that yet. Furthermore, even if you could prove that - percentage has nothing to …

    But can you agree that these people complaining about tit jokes are not accepting many other people's opinion that tit jokes are funny and that people should be free to joke about …

    So then what's your point? Don't joke about anything that anybody could possibly get offended at?

    If I talk about a tree branch, does that mean I think the whole tree does not exist? Am I "objectifying the tree" by reducing it down to one branch? That's why it's ridiculous to s…

    It's inconsiderate because they got all the men thinking about tits at a mostly tit-less conference.

    It's more than that. Playing devil's advocate means you're expressing the opposite point of view when you don't really hold that point of view, but you're doing it to prove a point…

    You said "One other part of sexism is sexual objectification, which reduces the person or whole gender to an instrument of sexual pleasure." And I said that nobody was reduced to b…

    It's not sexist to make an app to encourage men to ogle random women's breasts and submit photos while doing so, to an audience of men and women. Men are doing it anyway and there'…

    Entertainment is part of tech and tits as well as tit jokes are damn entertaining.

    Nobody was reduced to that though. What fun would a pair of tits floating in the air be? I'd rather stare at tits that are attached to a whole woman.
