This is incredibly stupid.
The giant geniuses (eg Newtown.. modern physics/calculus) who gave us all our science/tech (ie everything good in our lives)... pretty much all stayed away from people and did there own thing... for their own pleasure.
If these geniuses come into too much contact with the average noisy idiot.. they will actually be discouraged from their work... "why should I build/share these amazing things for such unappreciative, loud, idiotic, selfish *.... I will keep them just to myself and my family/friends"
This article is sexist because it just adds to stereotypes that women are weak, over sensitive, over emotional and always whining about something no matter how small in significance. Whining about getting a compliment... go trade places with a construction worker (who are building your comfortable offices and make your cushy life possible) and then tell us about death by a 1000 cuts.
I dont think its as simple as: "saturated fats clog up everyones arteries"...
It could be more complicated.. eg only blocking up arteries in weaker people (which correlates with the older people who are the ones dieing from heart disease) because of weaker hearts/low blood pressure or slowing metabolism (which allows for the build up/blockage) and/or those who produce excessive cholesterol.
I eat lots of proteins/fats and I know thats when I feel best. Every"body" is different... and you cant say to an 18 year old male who is regularly exercising to eat leaves.
This guy doesnt understand science...
Scientific method (as well as common sense) says that you dont waste time talking about hypothesis that are empirically untestable.
(We can invent infinitely many of these... eg invisible purple elephants that dance in your ice cream are what make it taste so good)
There is no way to prove or disprove things like this and its a total waste of time talking or thinking about things like this. That is what science says on the matter.
If you then go ahead and put "faith" (ie probability >0.5 that untestable hypothesis is true... then you are not a scientist.)
Lets not be "sector-ists".
We need more women garbage collectors, oil rig workers, soldiers, MMA fighters, night time security, bouncers, factory workers, miners, sewerage plant workers, construction workers.
We need more men in cushy jobs like HR, PR, teaching primary schools, secretaries, modelling, etc
This only works when the people you are helping are worthy of the help... Most people these days are crass, boring, ungrateful, inconsiderate, rude, entitled, idiots that want everything for free and right now.. and they'll steam roller over you to get it. (Just look at the sales at xmas). Serving this majority of idiots is actually doing more harm than good.
Taste doesnt matter for small things that only effect the individual in an isolated way.. like coffee.
For bigger issues/world views etc... taste is everything.. you cant live or be with people who repulse your tastes.
Hacker news is quickly turning into a feminist playground... Have a look at what happened to the atheist community.. same thing.. feminists infiltrated (they cant stand any community where men are alone together), the community welcomed them and it destroyed them. Google "Rebecca Watson"
These feminists are out of control.
Like spoilt todlers who have never been told "no"... they just keep pushing boundaries and getting more and more petty and stupid by the minute.
These women arent really the problem... its the men that never say no to them that are.
And the idiots that upvote this kind of thing and give it attention.
