See, that's your problem right there. You're treating men and women differently, despite claiming that you want them to be treated the same.
There's this other side however, where certain women are strongly profiling themselves as women (instead of just regular people, like most people). These few come up with stuff like what was already quoted but I'm quoting again, and are usually difficult to work with.

In such cases, they are clearly bringing forth the fact that they are women, and that they're striving to advance the opportunities of women. Every time one brings gender to the discussion when the situation doesn't necessitate it (such as when developing software), it does harm. In this case, to women.
(Again, I know most women are perfectly sane, regular people. It's just unfortunate that there's this set of women who appear to be doing their best to make females look bad.)

Which brings to the conclusion: What the hell were they thinking!Last edited by FunkyRider; 18 July 2013, 10:38 PM.

There is no need for namecalling, really. They're having a fairly good and mature discussion about dealing with people in management (and in general) on the mailing list and she is not being some sort of "social justice" person or whatever. Go read it.

I hope you are fired from Intel, you have no place in Linux development. Get out of the LKML before someone actually abuses you. Bitch.
This Sarah Sharp cunt actually managed to stall development because of her bitching. It's her fucking fault things managed to stall, if I were her manager at Intel she would be in the street right now.
Wah wah, girls in school never dated me, wah wah, I'm a nice guy and girls only date jerks, wah wah, now I resent all women because no one wants to have sex with an antisocial, misogynist asshole, wah wah.

Originally posted by peppercats View PostIf her gender had nothing to do with it, then we wouldn't be discussing this right now.
Just curious, how often do you think Linus cusses people out? Once a year?
Face it, her gender is only an issue because you want to make it an issue.
The only reason this is a big thing at all is because she's female, you're in denial if you think differently.

Originally posted by M1kkko View PostThere are two sides to this case. The first one: This person is overreacting to an LKML discussion, is lacking sense of humor and called out Linus for "advocating for physical intimidation and violence? (which was ridiculous seeing the context of the discussion). In that case, it would definitely be fair to think that she made only herself look stupid (as opposed women in general).
There's this other side however, where certain women are strongly profiling themselves as women (instead of just regular people, like most people). These few come up with stuff like what was already quoted but I'm quoting again, and are usually difficult to work with.
As for the links you posted? In none of them is she even asking for any special treatment for women. The first one points out the type of grief women have to suffer from guys like asdx if they're into techy stuff. The second one is just an announcement about an internship that she is arranging. The third one is where she's making a statement against violence against women.
I agree with the content of each of them. I have a penis (quite a large one, too, always leaves my gf sore) and I can honestly say I agree with the idea that people should be treated equally, no matter what their gender, no matter what genitals they are born with. This isn't currently happening - on a global scale, women are still discriminated against in a very real way, there's sexist attitudes and discrimination still even in ostentatiously advanced first world countries, and it gets even worse when you go to the developing world. It's a good cause to try to fix that injustice, and if you think differently I'd really like to know why.
In such cases, they are clearly bringing forth the fact that they are women, and that they're striving to advance the opportunities of women. Every time one brings gender to the discussion when the situation doesn't necessitate it (such as when developing software), it does harm. In this case, to women.
(Again, I know most women are perfectly sane, regular people. It's just unfortunate that there's this set of women who appear to be doing their best to make females look bad.)
Listen, both men and women are allowed to do things (even stupid things) without it reflecting on their entire gender. People are all individuals, even women (gasp!).

Looks like I struck a nerve, there. You know, I don't often insult halfwits, because it's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, but since you happen to make such an excellent target... well, and because you're a perfect example of someone who's an antisocial outcast, someone who quietly resents women because they don't give you the time of day... You probably go around, being all "nice and friendly" to women, then secretly resenting them when they go on to date "jerks" and not you even though you offer them fake friendship with ulterior motives. Then you go home and jerk off to some hentai, using your tears as lube.
Am I hitting close here? Because that's exactly the impression you've been giving of yourself, so far. Please, I await with anticipation of your poignant and well aimed riposte. Perhaps next you can call me a "stupid poopyhead"? Or tell me to "STFU" some more? You can always just scream some swear words and throw a tantrum, if coming up with something halfway resembling of wit is too hard to you, like it seems right now. But hey, maybe you'll surprise me. Maybe.
