Do you think there are any biases in tech that unfairly advantage women who choose to enter and unfairly disadvantage men who choose to enter?

I appreciate your posts here on Hacker News. Don't burn yourself out—those bullies aren't going away any time soon.

Let's look at what you said above. > But nobody has a problem with "Tulsa Codes!". Threads aren't full of people ranting about "third wave feminism" when they do. If young Tulsa re…

Across all cultures (perhaps across all of history), women are more risk averse. In fact, feminist activists didn't push to get more women into tech until tech was a higher paying,…

That dehumanizing attitude is extremely common in first-world "social justice warrior" circles. They consciously and deliberately use shaming and bullying tactics to intimidate oth…

I use gender-neutral pronouns unless context dictates otherwise, but I want you to consider something. If a policy (or lack thereof) is correlated with women feeling excluded or in…
