"No link. As far as I know, no reporter has ever cared about the story and so it is reported nowhere."
And even with reporter such story would be silenced fast. False rape accusation stories are always silenced (just like most of domestic violence stories where perpetrator is woman) since it "misrepresents women, and makes them afraid to report rapes". In where I live if such stories end up in bigger news sites they are removed in a few hours. And we don't even have feminism here...
"porn reduces the actors in it to objects that exists solely to be exploited for the pleasure of others."
1. They are not objectified. Recording is created of sex/nudity that is object, not actors "reduced" to objects. And also, last time I checked - humans were objects. Whole sentence is wrong.
2. Pay me as much as women in porn are payed...
"typically of women being subject to men."
You are not watching enough porn. In most porn women are the ones initiating sex, and men just plays along. It's your personal problem if you are watching male on female BDSM.
"by selectively targeting the sperm that carry it."
So only sperm can carry "BRCA mutation"?
Also, I can just smell feminists (at firs rad-feminists, since they already say that all male infants should be aborted right away) going to try ant and kill all sperm that carries Y chromosome using this research.
>two men whose verbal comments prompted her response also allowed the situation to escalate before changing their behavior
What? They are innocent. Not only their comments were harmless and not aimed at anyone, they also did not start ANY fires. Hell when speaking with pycon people after accusation they did not even fight back. Did you at least read whole story?
"500% more female engineers = 500% more risk of sexual harassment lawsuits. If that's not progress, I don't know what is."
You made 2 critical mistakes.
1. You posted this in white knight infested community
2. bad wording. It should be :
"500% more female engineers = 500% more risk of false sexual harassment lawsuits. If that's not progress, I don't know what is."
>Had the article been: "How Etsy Replaced 50% of our Male Engineers with Females" you might have cause for concern.
But it's basically same. If they were hiring blindly (not in sexist/discriminatory way) they would have most likely would have hired few men in process. So basically they replaced few would be male employees with women (because according feminism word 'female' is offensive.)
"My message to you is that we men can come together and support each other and be a generation that others look back on with respect, "
>>"we men can come together and support each other"
Do you believe in that yourself? 90% of men when in situation where woman accuses other man of sexual harassment that they know he did not commit WILL SUPPORT WOMAN. 1. they are bunch of white knights that wants to look good in the eyes of women (10$ bet you are in this group). 2. less rivalry if one man goes down.
>but saying it in a space where you don't know who's listening and what they've gone through was not a good idea.
It wasn't said TO them, it's their own problem they were listening to someones else conversation. Seriously, do we need not speak when there are women around? Just Shut your moth as you might say something they don't like, Cover your eyes as you might look at them in a way they don't like and Cover your ears so you don't hear their "Oh this sexually harasses me" nonsense.
>low end of the sexual harassment
Someone really qualifies that as sexual harassment? Someone should really stop being offended by small things.
>Basically, you seem to have limited perspective on the other half of the population, and a large part of your own.
Did not got that, is making dick joke shows "limited perspective on the other half of the population" (and by other half you mean majority, right? As there are more women than men.)? 21st century, age where everything that is masculine, like "dick jokes" is bad and everything feminine is divine.
Lets hope white knights like you will get to see true side of women.
"What’s so wrong with calling out lazy storytelling based on dumb stereotypes?" Well, biologically men are physically stronger. So it's just logical that man saves woman in game. (By the way - lowered physical strength standards for women in US that want to become firefighter/police officers says a lot.)
"Your arguments make no sense at all." And you gave no arguments what so ever.
"People don't doubt that." I doubt that. Lately media was making homosexuality more popular/desirable/cool. You can claim that "homosexuality is not a choice" yet you can't prove that there are no people that are easily affected by what they are shown daily. I am sure that some % of homosexuality is caused by media.
"secure comms have no place in a web browser,"
Agreed. Any good stand alone stuff you could suggest?
Also, why cryptocat is browser plugin? Why not also make stand alone version? Like with contacts and such ( I know aka "skype with list of contacts you have secret conversations with that you don't want anyone to know about" would be silly but would have it's uses if it would also keep cryptocat style of "join public room and then go to private conversation")
Just love how well this community can argument their opinions. "Oh someone said something bad about woman, must be asshole!" No, that was good observation and should be up voted.
"wishing posts like these would just publicly out the perpetrator instead of referring to them anonymously" Bad idea - What if wrong person made public? What if someone was set up? You will have retarded lynch mob running for blood. Example - woman accused young man of rape, police proved he was innocent, lynch mob kills man "because law dodging scum like him should just die".
"public shaming" - bad things must be known publicly, but public shaming is just retarded. Problem with it is, even if you are innocent, you have no defense against public shaming.
"like when a spouse kicks out a cheating partner" - unless that cheating partner is a woman, then it's man that is guilty and should be beaten up for kicking her out of home.
"On the other hand, public shaming at any level _seems_ childish to me, but I can't point out why. Additionally, if someone makes false claims, they can do serious damage very easily." - oh look, in everything you wrote, there is two sentences that makes sense.
