You realize that the gender disparity is a result of men historically being hired more often because of what is between their legs, right?

It’s amazing how the best person for the job is always white men.

I gotta ask: what are Audrina Patridge’s work commitments?

No, they’re not. They’re referring to a world where they don’t believe that anyone who’s not a Straight White Male would have the talent to get hired.

You’re a fool if that’s what you think is going on with any kind of “diversity hiring”. People aren’t hired based on a quota, that’s a myth perpetrated by conspiracy theorists and bigots.

Entitlement that’s soured into hatred. They didn’t “get” girls in school or whatever (as though women are prizes or cookies to be handed out) and basically never got over the idea that they “deserve” not only female companionship but a blend of virgin, geisha and underwear model who really wants a threesome anytime…

To paraphrase lokowoko, when women or minorities are given opportunities it’s because of affirmative action or quotas. But if white men are given these same opportunities it’s because they earned them through merit.

And I have an issue with your idiotic assumption that someone wanting to ensure that their writer’s room (or office or school or wherever) has gender parity is automatically not considering anything BUT the candidate’s gender. COME ON. That is so stupid. You start out by saying, “society has as many women as men,…

I think the issue white boys are having is assuming that every time a woman is hired it’s just to “have more women” and not because of their talent.

Here’s my reply:

The best explanation I heard was this. So many of these guys are the basement dwelling stereotypes you read about, the ones who can’t get a date. They’ve convinced themselves that it’s because they like comics and SF and fantasy and nerdy things that girls don’t get. Now, with more and more women becoming fans and…

THIS MOTHERFUCKER WANTS TO DIE WITHOUT FINISHING THIS SERIES. HE WELCOMES IT.

Like people who worship Fight Club - they don’t even get that the thing they love is mocking them.

Why the fuck is it impossible for these gutless fucks to let women do anything nerdy or nerd-adjacent without being harassed

THANK YOU. Seriously. I was in foster care for three years and then put back in the home of my abusive mother. Those three years were far from perfect but, on some level, I still don’t think I’ve recovered from being put back in that household. I understand the experience may be traumatic for some parents that have…

We don’t ask that men be given the opportunity to explain why they beat their wives with belts, we ask that these men be arrested for spousal battery.

“Sitting at the table with the CPS worker, her supervisor and a meeting facilitator, I felt very intimidated. I had no lawyer or advocate to explain what was going on.”

I was treated as a criminal. I wasn’t given a chance to explain myself. I wasn’t asked: What happened? I was just thrown behind bars. I felt like I was seen as a monster.
