Men are no longer permitted to have a gender in public?
Utterly false. There are quite a number of people who call themselves men's right's activists who seem convinced that man==arsehole so being against arseholes is being against men. I don't believe men are inherently bad, so I don't subscribe to that definition.
And a private space where they can vent, well that is just misogynist?
If you're being a misogynist in private, you're still a misyognist.
You keep your misandry to yourself. You are proving my point. You "don't believe men are inherently bad" but they require re-education don't they?
Women must have safe spaces where they can vent. Maybe they should modify their feelings instead just as you seem to require men to do?
When women look at men's rights activists and say they are arseholes (who consider themselves to be assholes) they might consider that many men might have the same view of feminists for the same reason. You are a bigot. You are a feminist. You are a disrespecter of men. That is established by the "men's right's activists who seem convinced that man==arsehole". You are against any man who does not comply with your wishes and views. You are not an equalitarian."
That would also be pretty well impossible for any woman I have ever known unless she was the only woman present and maybe not then. If you think that testicles or ovaries do not affect sentience then you go against a massive field of evidence and the bulk of the psychiatry and psychological world.
In case you did not know it, men in majority female workplaces cop a lot too. With far less recourse.
There are varied uniquely male privileges to be obtained.
There are varied uniquely female privileges to be obtained.
There are privileges that come with decency. I won't say human decency as I have known animals to have that decency and it should be reciprocated.
Very, very few obtain more than a small fraction of the privilege they could obtain.
Very often the members of a given group do not recognise their own privileges as they seem natural within that group. That makes the grass look even greener on the other side of the fence.
There is privilege everywhere. It is hard not to see it. It is best to try and be objective.
But that is a problem isn't it? Men are no longer permitted to have a gender in public? And a private space where they can vent, well that is just misogynist?
An indépendant body determine that there was no case to answer. Is pointing that out hate and bile? Oh, and whenever I have replaced someone I always started off on less than they did (male or female) as I simply did not have the same experience. That seldom lasted past the first review. But to expect more than the last incumbent? Unless you are better experienced or better qualified then that is an unrealistic expectation.
Have you noticed the inflatable ones? First laughed at that in Brunner's "Stand on Zanzibar" and now it is real. Advertising slogan: "Watch his ego shrivel as your nipples deflate"....
Then you lack creativity and balance. The definition for positive, zero and negative sum games are readily available.
Tell me, what are your feelings about public infrastructure? You think roads, railways, power plants should be built by crowd-funding? Oh! And what about libraries? That is where people who cannot afford to purchase books go. Round here it is the same with DVDs etc. If there is anything I want then the local public library will get it in for me (not speculation, experience). So if I indulged in any piracy it would be supremely arrogant. That is probably the case in most civilised or semi civilised societies.
If I could have supported and educated my kids by painting I would have done so. I stated what I would need to do incurred even further cost to the point where "painting for profit" only applies to house painters. And you seem to think that recognising the reality of the situation is somehow not a "good grasp of reality". You really have your head on backwards.
You have no reason (or given none) for your belief that the nett choices will increase. You know (have agreed) that some choices will be lost. So you prefer your speculation (silly speculation at that) over your facts. And you do not even attempt to detail what 'more' choices you think there will be.
People have a dislike for the idea of dictators authoritarians and fascists when all along, they all are. Everyone is that sort of person and fits into at least one of those categories.
Well, no. Not everyone is like that and if you think that they are then you are spiritually defeated already. I pity you.
Understanding how things work... hhmmm... I think perhaps better than you.
I paint water paints. I do not like to use acrylic or oils. If I had to use oils I would stop painting.
For me to make a living from my art (I do not) I need it to be seen and sold. Photos on the internet are not good enough. I need a physical place to hang my work and someone to take the money. Now painting is not well remunerated (in your lifetime) even if you are good the "hourly rate" sucks badly. This is reality. So, I earn my money coding. But I would rather paint - with water paint. I am not complaining. Its is what it is.
But you want to limit the choices of both artists and consumers.
It so happens I have ponied up funds for two movies being made. But I may not live to see their completion nor do I have any guarantee my money is not wasted. They will never have good production value because crowdfunding is simply inadequate to produce blockbuster quality movies.
The Missionary Church of Kopimism is as full of crap as Hubbard. Its philosophies inconsistent. They should study some information theory. Yes it it is arbitrary.
Bullshit. Big things take big investments. Big things take big organisations. It is nothing to do with lack of imagination. It is, after all, creative people we are talking about. The issue is funding and organising.
You are being hypocritical again - "...not a fault of my system itself" when you do not have a system. You are just deeming certain thing to be unfit to exist. Arbitrarily. By fiat.
Now you understand you have been a bourke, you try and trivialise? "harm gets done..." No retraction, no apology, about the fact that you are willing to create harm based on nothing but you think you are right.
You made it about authoritarianism when you expressed an authoritarian attitude.
Having to pay a reasonable price for a blockbuster is being harmed is it? No, not paying for it is doing the harm.
I am not a supporter of the current copyright situation. But your views are extreme and dictatorial. The views a child might have. You might want to reconsider them.

The harassment of geeks? Precisely who is being harassed?
Right now I see you being one of those causing a feeling of pervasive harassment.
Good god, most of the guys posting here are or have been victims of pervasive harassment. They are geeks.
Maybe some just want to see facts not fantasies and flames. We have yet to see any shred evidence.
You are presuming the unlikely case that her claims are accurate just because she made them. That is foolish.
That would also be pretty well impossible for any woman I have ever known unless she was the only woman present and maybe not then. If you think that testicles or ovaries do not affect sentience then you go against a massive field of evidence and the bulk of the psychiatry and psychological world.

My company is leading the industry. We do stuff no one else can.
Been there, done that. It was bullshit then and I call bullshit now. Very few people who think they are irreplaceable actually are that way.
Oh, really? Why would that be?

Seconded

Do you mean 'inverse' or are you just being strange (normal here)?
No. A strip club is insufficient for that. That requires a keeper.

Wow, does your echo chamber blur things?
If I could have supported and educated my kids by painting I would have done so. I stated what I would need to do incurred even further cost to the point where "painting for profit" only applies to house painters. And you seem to think that recognising the reality of the situation is somehow not a "good grasp of reality". You really have your head on backwards.

So you prefer your speculation (silly speculation at that) over your facts. And you do not even attempt to detail what 'more' choices you think there will be.
Play positive sum games. Think in those terms. It is simple as that.
People have a dislike for the idea of dictators authoritarians and fascists when all along, they all are. Everyone is that sort of person and fits into at least one of those categories.
Well, no. Not everyone is like that and if you think that they are then you are spiritually defeated already. I pity you.
That is because you are in an echo chamber and only hearing your own voice.
Understanding how things work... hhmmm... I think perhaps better than you.
I paint water paints. I do not like to use acrylic or oils. If I had to use oils I would stop painting.

I am not complaining. Its is what it is.

I am done here.
Again you wish to force your choice on others.
It so happens I have ponied up funds for two movies being made. But I may not live to see their completion nor do I have any guarantee my money is not wasted. They will never have good production value because crowdfunding is simply inadequate to produce blockbuster quality movies.
The Missionary Church of Kopimism is as full of crap as Hubbard. Its philosophies inconsistent. They should study some information theory. Yes it it is arbitrary.
Disingenuous.
A very strange idea of reality and one that is to be strongly opposed. I have a dislike for dictators, authoritarians and fascists. So do most people.
Bullshit. Big things take big investments. Big things take big organisations. It is nothing to do with lack of imagination. It is, after all, creative people we are talking about. The issue is funding and organising.
You are being hypocritical again - "...not a fault of my system itself" when you do not have a system. You are just deeming certain thing to be unfit to exist. Arbitrarily. By fiat.
People lose their careers. People who have spent a lifetime building skills have no place to practice them anymore.
Because; 1. that is not the case, 2. You want to impose your choice on everyone else.
You are totally correct in that.
Pity you do not seem to have consistent principles. Which I have pointed out.
Now you understand you have been a bourke, you try and trivialise? "harm gets done..." No retraction, no apology, about the fact that you are willing to create harm based on nothing but you think you are right.
You made it about authoritarianism when you expressed an authoritarian attitude.
