Advantages? Do you think white males are immune to mental illness, don't get sexually abused and always have stable home lives? I remember when the left used to be about compassion and it saddens me immensely to see it turned into this hate movement. White males made up 70% of suicides in the US. So much for "privilege".
Yes we did. Try reading a few history books about Europe to see how crap the life of an ordinary white male was until very recently. The history of the Balkans would be a good place to start.
I was bullied to the point of suicide by one male boss and his henchman and many men in that department were treated like shit. The women were largely left alone. The IT industry is full of dicks and I've had the misfortune to work with quite a few. Having my ability and knowledge questioned is something that's happened to me on more than one occasion. The difference is that I've been expected to "man up" and "grow a pair". I can't take to Twitter and get my bullies sacked because when a man complains he's a whiner who should be mocked.
Remember if you are dominate you get in trouble as a woman and are a bitch. As a guy you are bold and have leadership. It is a double standard
This is what I was responding to. I have worked with many bullying dickheads and I never considered them bold or dominant, I considered them to be dickheads. I didn't say anything about sexual harassment which is the worst kind of assholery.
You do know that suing takes a lot of time and plenty of money, and in the meantime the devices are not working and the business is demanding you do something about it. Your fix might work but won't be supported by Xerox and they will quite happily blame that while still taking your money and doing nothing. You're very lucky you work in an environment where you can choose exactly what hardware and software you can work with but the rest of us have to deal with other people's purchasing decisions.
I'm not talking about coal or oil, I'm talking about nuclear having a crap safety record too. Whataboutism is very important when you're dealing with something so dangerous.
There's nothing short term about nuclear, either in building the reactors or dealing with the waste. Nuclear power would be awesome if we could trust humans not to fuck it up but we can't.
Nuclear meltdowns remove all life from an area and poisons it for many years. The weather then helpfully carries it elsewhere to kill more life. The idea that it's clean and safe is only the case if you pretend that it doesn't produce highly toxic waste and that accidents aren't highly damaging.

It would be interesting to see how many men have suffered from that in IT. I know I have.
White dudes are the only ones who catcall?
Isn't the just a politically incorrect way of describing a female baby?
So what are these advantages they've supposedly pissed away?

You should tell the homeless white guys I see every day about their privileged existence. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.
Most white males don't have any power.
Really? You're really using that insult?

I'm not making any generalisations, I'm disputing that men in leadership positions are automatically viewed positively.

Yeah yeah aggressive asshole male bosses are hugely popular with everyone.
IE11 supports TLS 1.2 fine. Earlier versions of IE are not supported anymore.
That's always the answer around here. Having problems with $MYTECHRELIGION? Must be because you're an idiot because $MYTECHRELIGION is infallible!

It's going to be a bumpy ride

Does nuclear power produce less pollution? The fact that you have to bury the waste underground in thick concrete suggests that's not the case.
Wow homophobic insults. How progressive.
It has National Insurance numbers which are similar
Thank you for your fascinating contribution
