| > assumption of binary plus suggesting Adria's post is asking for an extreme solution ("100%") Well I'm not really sure what is less offensive than a dongle innuendo. > False assumption that your female friends all don't care about your potentially sexist remarks. Nope, they (including my mother, who was a feminist activist back in the 80s) have had my back in many arguments about similar sorts of things. > Adria is completely reasonable and accurate with what she's saying. Nope, because there is nothing reasonable about publicly shaming someone for a joke that has nothing sexist about it because you heard some shit in a talk and make a bizarre connection between that and it. > Being treated like equal human beings means treating people with respect, and making degrading, sexualized jokes at a professional event is not treating people with respect. We have different ideas of respect then. My idea of respect is to not treat people like children that flip out because of some silly innuendo that doesn't actually do anything. It's not like the pornographic slides (which I spoke out against) or any of the other numerous offences of the tech. industry. This is two dudes relaxing and making some non-sexist innuendo. > shitty behavior Point blank refuse to accept that what they did was "shitty behaviour". Loosen the fuck up, focus on the real battles. |
