Its so weird that there aren't more women in tech. Amirite? What could possibly be driving them away?!?!

There aren't enough white knights rushing in to save us, and we aren't being treated as equals. Another problem is the cultural racism of future time orientation and emphasizing individualism as opposed to a more collective ideology.

> There aren't enough white knights rushing in to save us

Huh, I can't recall hearing the phrase "white knights" being used by a woman before. I have heard from women (online and in person) be unhappy about men not being supportive of their concerns and be happy about men being allies, especially when the burden of change is on other men. Can you expand on what you mean by this?

Do you ever wonder where accusing someone of being a white knight sits on the scale between rhetoric and logic? I think its probably something you haven't considered.

I wasn't talking about you, but your deference to logic makes me wonder... Dr Minnich has helpfully informed us that logic and reason are the tools of the racist patriarchy. Maybe you haven't considered your disposition to reach for colonial phallocentric weapons of aggression.

Most students who make it past philosophy 101 can form arguments for or against this position. For the rest, maybe all there is are tired 4chan memes circa 2010.

Another way to help discover how SSH works is to compile your own openssh server, instrumenting it with your own printfs, and see exactly what it's doing. I did this at one point, and it helped immensely to write a (horrifyingly insecure) homegrown SSH client. It was at least a good learning experience.

The only people you aren't alienating with this kind of rhetoric are the ones that already sling it, themselves.

>he takes it apart and puts it back together ?

"he" referring to a person who does the sort of work admired, not specifically the author of this work.

It would depend if "he" were gendered, or not. If it is, the relevance of the comment is in question, as the gender does not match.

That is something to think on. Your mind immediately goes to the comedic styling of the dark underbelly of the internet when references are made to the content of an academic paper for the Center for Research on Women - written by one so well respected in the field. If 4chan is having to reach back to 1986 for material... well things are about to get very neon.

You know about "reader mode", right? http://www.howtogeek.com/228104/how-to-make-the-mobile-web-m...

It's very odd to have to depend on a browser feature that is basically for accessibility in order to read a website because the colour choices are bad.

I've pretty much never heard the term "white knight" being used by anyone except men who are attempting to shame and bully other men who are being allies into not doing that.

EDIT: Downvoters, you're only making my point for me. How much of my karma do you think you'll have to burn before you've shown me how wrong I am?

Check your monitor gamma and white level using something like this: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gamma_calibration.php

You might be crushing whites, or just have incorrect gamma.
