Discrimination isn't just an idea, it's a material reality. Women are systematically disadvantaged on every level of tech, from the assumption that 'nerds' are boys, which seems to go back to IT marketing from the 1980s[1], to their being prevented from holding senior offices in the biggest tech corporations. They are discriminated against by a male-dominated industry and culture. Only when the systemic, material conditions of patriarchy are no longer in force will it make sense to no longer 'discriminate'. Also, care to name one thinker from history who doesn't advocate discrimination of some sort? Seriously. Who is your model? [1] http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/10/21/357629765/when-... |

Problem is, no one can agree when X happens (or has happened).
"Only when we're safe will it make sense to no longer spy on all our citizens."
"Only when our enemies are defeated will it make sense to no longer have Emperor Caesar."
