Unfortunately I don't have enough points to downvote this so I'll just have to speak up.
> entrenched misogyny, racism, and sexism tolerated by so many white anglo saxon.
During my 15 years, as a white anglo saxon male, working at 8 companies of various size across Canada I have never met a man who hates women. Over the last say 10 years I have always been the minority by race and have reported women 40% of the time.
It would be nice to have more women in IT (yes please!), but the crap you just spewed must not represent all of IT around the world.
I don't have an appreciation for the intro. I think it detracts from an otherwise great blog post. And I think it's ok for people to have mixed feelings about it too.
Why does technicality matter? It's not like being 'legal' or 'non-legal' even matters when it's a pliable circumstance (which is really the problem exposed here) crafted by the law makers that are at work doing their best to serve themselves over the rights of the people (which is kinda the purpose of laws).
Edit: this comment is not specific to your question alone, it's a comment on this specific thread.
