I just think it’s dumb that the left thinks the solution to lack of diversity is to complain that men are writing female characters, rather than demand that there be more female writers and that all writers write what they want.

If you want to give him that kind of power in your life then that’s on you.

Soundslike the system is working.

~~Who with any legitimate knowledge and interest in social justice in 2017, by the way, says “transgenders?”~~

Why is it assumed as default that someone is expected to have an interest in social justice? I think very few people are.

I’m tired of all writers being men but I hate this attitude of ‘only women can write about women’ and separating things into female stories and male stories and basically ‘stay in your lane’ as a solution to discrimination and lack of diversity.

Pretty much. Jez and the identity politics dictatorship left seem to think ‘stay in your lane’ is the solution to discrimination. As a liberal, I’m embarrassed to be associated with that bullshit.

He’s writing his point of view. It doesn’t have to be something palatable to you or me or others. The fact something gets published and then succeeds across a wide audience means the creator has connected with an audience that sees what s/he is seeing. Of course we don’t have to like it. But acting like it isn’t…

“Stay in your lane” also means women and minorities don’t get to write for anything but their own experiences, too.

you answered your own question with it being underfunded... and forgot how the UK is 5 times smaller than the us...

Because you know, thats whats important in today’s society. No need to be able to fully identify someone trying to travel to / from your country.

“It’s not just about what is morally and ethically right, it also makes sense just from a fiscal standpoint,” she said.

this is beyond stupid and a waste of money

I love how using the term female is sexist, but using male is fine

Is it trolling, or common sense? As if feminists don’t have a history of making shit up to fuel their dumb agenda. And they did benefit with tons of free publicity from it. You’re also getting one side of the story, why are you so quick to believe their story without any proof whatsoever? Because “I believe”? Get the…

If a graphic designer threatened to delete code as retaliation for a client turning down a date, any lawyer would have taken the case on contingency and the resulting settlement would be more than enough to fund an early stage startup.

No, I’m a professional that lives in a downtown condo of a major city. I’ve felt more than my fair share of women, and they loved it. But yeah, keep projecting. Miserable feminists will remain miserable, after all. Your life would lose all purpose if you didn’t find something new to bitch about.

You’re right. I also can’t deny the possibility that you’re a serial pedophile rapist who burns puppies for kicks.

Alternative lede: Startup founders are really, really clever at marketing; and know what kind of things appeal to gullible, rage-fueled Gizmodo and Fast Company bloggers.

You can’t be sanctimonious AND use “retarded” as an insult. Pick one or the other, but don’t expect to have your cake and to eat it too.

What a surprise that self-proclaimed feminists would claim that they had trouble dealing with men. I’m sure their made up story got them a ton of free publicity on sites like these though by other hack female writers with an obvious agenda.
