A lot of these guys have the idea that they suffered growing up because of their nerd interests, and are displeased to see other people not suffering for those same interests, which are now mainstream. But their mistake lies in this:

I think for at least some of them, it's a desperate attempt to avoid confronting the idea that maybe, just maybe, the reason they have trouble finding a date isn't "there are no women in the world I could date, because no woman could possibly ever appreciate the awesome things I'm into" but rather "I'm not actually a…

Soooo...your kid is white, not fat, not ugly and frankly, extraordinarily lucky. Not exactly in a position to tell the rest of America how to get a job. Just quit with the advantaged anecdotes already, okay?

Yeah, it still requires training. If anything, it's a lot like stunt training, which no one in their mothafuckin' lives will ever say is not real. You have to learn so much. It's not like you can step in that bitch and be like "LOL now I'm a wrestler!" Just because it's essentially dinner theatre with violence does…

While your stats are correct, I've been to enough cons and smelled enough exhibition hall BO to know that the sorts of guys who accost cosplayers and accuse women of being fake geeks fit the stereotype and I think that's what the OC meant. The statistically average adult geek isn't the problem. Happy, well-adjusted…

I'm oppressed and I can't get up!

At which time Black Twitter will create a #blacktwitterthinkpieces hash tag and proceed to create sharply funny and sardonic tweets skewering such

As a POC nothing beats the hindering truth and joy that comes with talking with my other friends of color #Black Convo.

"Black Twitter" is the reason why I signed up for Twitter not too long ago. People come up with the most creative, hilarious hashtags and I live for every single minute of it.

A year out of college is when you get a job.

Don't reply to him let him rot in the grays.

This reluctance to hire / promote women of reproductive age is nothing new, and not unique to Millennials.

Young women are underestimated ? And that's new concept? How about women are underestimated . Nothing new to report sista.

I hate this bias. I don't agree with this discrimination even if it's true that she might have kids, but the thing is, not all women, married or not, want children in the near future! I was married (although going through a divorce now), and I have zero intention of having kids any time soon, if ever. Yet it was like…

Even those with sweater grapes are not exempt! It's endemic.

"And any candidate can leave for any reason at any time - it's not like they sign a multi-year contract."

Solution: make sure men get equal parental leave! It all starts there. Things can be so simple. :]

I'm not sure where the rage is. Black Twitter has taken them to task. Some have called for the person responsible to be fired; I don't know if that's warranted, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings. But given the fact that even when PEOPLE DIE there are apologists all over, including right here on Jez, telling black…

Sorry hit publish too soon. I say this because this minimizes the chance to see what this is really about, meaning if it's just a gaffe or if it's a result of racism. As someone who, when I cut my hair off was routinely called sir, simply because my hair isn't a)long and straight b) swinging around my shoulders, I was…

Two things: It's one thing to mix up two people that look similar, or even that have similar names. If you mixed up Isla Fisher and Amy Adams, I would be like EH WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE. But this is a man and a woman. It's a pretty huge difference.
