  1. Re:VP of Diversity, Integrity & Governance... on Google Engineer's Leaked 'Gender Diversity' Essay Draws Massive Response (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    To prove something is wrong, one has to come up with arguments, not some generic talk.

    What you have said works both ways, if someone writes something very smart, which goes against your beliefs, no matter how wrong they are in reality, you could judge it as badly written and unsubstantiated.

    You can't dismiss entire essay picking out minor parts of it, as you please, you can't forbid author expressing his own opinion.
    Please tell about key points that you find unsubstantiated.

    It's a piece of shit experience with all sorts of BS explanations to somehow excuse grabbing money for doing pretty much any step.

    He/she has a point.
    Among homosexuals, lesbian partners have less frequent (although, longer) sex encounters than gay men.

    It works the same way with married couples, males tend to want to have more sex, than females.

    52% of population is female, think how could we get to (a lady said that in the context of who has to pay for the first date) "pussy is expensive, dicks are free"?

    I mean, perhaps you have some clues from your education, share them with us please.

    Being a feminist and "believing in "women's rights" is consistent, although goes quite a bit against a fair playing field.

    Unfortunately what you are saying has little to do with actual feminist mainstream philosophy.

    While there are equity feminists that do want equality, they are in minority and even marginalized.
    The intersectional feminism reigns supreme.

    In female favor disparities (e.g. in education) are not simple welcome, but cheered.
    Shared parenting laws get blocked.
    Gender neutral laws substituted with female centric.

    Education is an interesting example. In 90th, a wave of "girls are suppressed at school" has started and despite being completely out of touch with reality, gained traction. Now gap between girls and boys that existed even back then, is widening and nobody, but a handful of equity feminists and MRM activists seem to care.

    I can't recall a single case of feminists actually admitting there is a problem that straight males face, let alone fighting it.
    Please, be so kind to prove me wrong, you surely should have good examples.

    Github wanted to host a conference.

    Apparently the speakers were chosen "blind", i.e. the proposed topics were put to a panel without any details about who the speaker was who'd be presenting that topic. That way the panel was able to choose the speakers for the event without knowing their names, sex, race, sexual orientation or anything else about them. They were choosing purely on the topics the speakers wanted to present.

    Result: a whole lot of fucking white males!

    Obviously that's unacceptable, so naturally they had to cancel the conference rather than host a lineup of speakers chosen purely on merit. /s
