We'll agree to disagree on the severity of women's perception compared to men. I think the problem as it exists is equally troublesome for both sides (it is not an actual problem for me, but for the sake of argument...). What it comes down to is both men and women are presented in a highly idealized (according to society) fashion. You may say that the problem is bigger for women then men, but I personally don't agree.
Oh. Then I completely misunderstood.
Mine includes such statements as "I don't care for tomatoes raw" and "I don't appreciate being accused for things I didn't do".
Wonder how many watch lists that puts me on.
Oh for fuck's sake, this stupid argument again?
When was the last time you saw a guy in a action game that wasn't ripped? Look at characters like Dante in Devil May Cry. You don't see men getting all butthurt because the common perception of men in video games is pure alpha male, muscle bound.
Perhaps you have some internalized male-hate, or maybe it's disdain for 'geeks'. Either way, you need a better argument.
Thanks for picking one possible scenario out of countless others. Interesting that this scenario furthers your male-hate agenda.
Your meaningless experience isn't relative to anything.
That's because we're constantly under attack from you feminazis who want to make us feel terrible for being a man and existing. And we're not buying your happy horseshit.
I had to look up what pansexuality even was. I agree, sounds like a ton of work to just say 'I would be with anyone regardless of how they identify/what parts they have'.
This is kind of the same feeling I've always gone with. I think the vast number of names can get a little excessive, but I guess if the LGBTQ community needs that level of granularity in how they define themselves, might as well go with it. How other people decide to live their life, as long as it doesn't impact mine adversely, is their own business - as is what they call themselves.
So what about when a group of women get together and talk about how men are pigs or how dumb we are? The upsetting thing is when a woman enters a group of men, she expects the behavior of the men to change to suit the woman.
They really dislike a lot of the joking that goes on in a team of geeks that's almost entirely male, and they're convinced the Valley's family leave policies are Evil and Anti-Woman,
And I really dislike this nonsense that tries to jam 'equality' into CompSci and completely disregards the bias against men in education. The very fact of being male has been under attack for far too long, and I'm sick of tolerating it.
I understand the passion behind your posts, and I am actually in agreement with you on a lot of points. However, the womyn-born-womyn thing is blurring the message. A cursory 'Find' suggests you've used it 91 times. It's distracting from your points, to be honest.
Absolutely. While I would hesitate to call my manager 'non technical', he is much more focused on the look and feel of our company websites. It's my job to implement back end functionality.
However, he makes my working life easy. I'm able to work for long periods of time with 0 interruptions - mainly because he fields all the 'feature requests' and complaints. A great manager can be worth their weight in gold - a terrible one can drag you down like they were made of lead.
Apparently tabtimes.com is planning to capitalize on the great success (lol) of Windows 8 but taking part of Metro and smearing it all over a website.
Or, put another way, they threw Windows 8's design at a website to see if it'd stick.
Why in the hell would you have a limited time internship that requires a secret level clearance that will probably take the UNPAID intern months to get?
Seems like a ton of hassle for very little reward.
This position requires a Security Clearance of SECRET. SO, let me get this straight. Unpaid, FULL TIME, college age, best and brightest... with access to secret level items...
Nevermind. This is a great idea. What could possibly go wrong?

Great argument. Made an awesome showing of yourself there. Go man-hate somewhere else.
That so? Please do explain. And then go back to tumblr and blog about it.

Way to completely ignore that women make catcalls at men too. But hey, ignore anything that doesn't promote your feminazi agenda, right?
Is there a way to get this submission removed? There is so much wrong with this idiotic article. It doesn't belong on Slashdot.
So apparently if you're a standard frustrated angry geeky guy you need to have a manifesto? Damn. Guess I missed that memo.
I would love to, if the feminists could keep their fucking man-hating agenda out of it long enough to do so.

What if you have both?

At 5'4, I'm screwed. As an additional bummer, I prefer to date women shorter than me... Luckily, I'm perfectly happy with my 5'2 girlfriend.

May be an AC, but I got a big laugh outa this. I'm a sucker for word play.

"..to work for nothing"
Boy. Can't imagine how they could say no to that.
