If anything the last two books have too little plot. I don't know that the show is an improvement necessarily, but the books aren't the works of grand intellectual complexity fans like to paint them as.

Thank you for actually putting up some supporting recommendations - you're genuinely the first person who hasn't evaded the request since the Google memo hit the news cycle. I'll see if I can get my hands on some of those and give them a read.

That's cool and all, and I don't have any opinion about the man in a personal sense, but he works in a creative field so his output is going to be judged in those terms rather than whether he gives great meeting and happily works 14 hour days. That's inside baseball stuff that has no bearing on how I feel when I see…

I mean, I read Jon Ronson's book too, but is criticising someone's work really tantamount to "publicly shaming" them now?

Maybe it's because I saw Aliens at too young an age, but people who refer to the company they work for as "the Company" also freak me out.

The utter refusal of Democrats to accept any blame at all for losing to Donald Trump might not bode super well for the future.

This post is even more hilariously misguided if you know that coding was considered menial women's work for a good chunk of its history.

No, but I see you've decided to mount your high horse anyway.

I will never understand people bringing up Blazing Saddles in this context. Do they think the people calling Bart the n-word were the heroes of the piece?

That's actually a pretty good burn dude.

Actually, it is me to whom this is funny.

Oh, teach me how to respect viewpoints other than my own, Genji, that's definitely your strong suit!

Yeah, I'm sure he places equivalent value on 'feelings' and 'ideas' when saying women are more interested in the former.

As long as you don't use any cuss words or lose your temper it's okay to argue for women's intellectual inferiority. Good, actually.

Because neither of you is being censored?

I can't be sure, but I'm reasonably certain the use of prepositions in English predates the nomenclature.

Jerry Maguire's memo was at least partly motivated by actual human decency, and even he got shitcanned.

THAT'S A BINGO

That's the great thing about this "ideological bubble" game - you can employ it as an addendum to a very silly screed, and then dismiss anyone who disagrees with you as being part of the "bubble" and therefore in the wrong.

Perhaps you can support them with facts, as the author of the memo singularly failed to do.
