Bench that fucker. I respect everything he did to get the US to this point - but you can't miss a point blank goal and then lazily turn the ball over in the last twenty seconds, leading to a opposition goal because you're poorly conditioned or feeling the heat. That isn't performing at a world class level.

Because soldiers are not victims.

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Sorry, I'm calling bullshit.

"Shunned" = no one wants to talk with you or include you in ordinary conversations. They leave when you arrive, or stop talking with the others. It makes it harder to get an education/do a job when you're missing half the information that the others are getting, because people won't chat with you. I only survived two…

Truly... Going on a hate forum/IRC for 8 hours straight and then being shocked to discover... hateful rhetoric?

I considered getting an actual computer science degree after this, to go with the three science degrees I already had, but didn't think I could handle been shunned for an entire degree program, followed by years of being shunned in industry.

It is insofar as a STEM degree is generally a prerequisite for a career in the tech industry.

No, I don't think the broadly different courses of study chosen by men & women is largely a result of gender-specific hostility. I'm just not that small minded.

According to a few cherry picked anecdotes, mostly regarding the competitive nature of Computer Science degrees?

Are you referring to the demographics of computer science degrees in general?

I don't think even Madonna is allowed to do that anymore.

I was referring more to their generally stubborn persistence and indefatigability with regards to the pursuit of public office. Hillary didn't exactly make a graceful exit from the Democratic primary last go round, even when it was clear she couldn't possibly make up the delegate count.

Contrary to popular belief, Google can't just pull qualified female and minority STEM candidates out of thin air, regardless of how concerted the effort.

You and I have vastly different understandings of how the Clintons operate in general.

...his boss took one look at me and that was the end of that.

Was there ever any reasonable doubt?

The issue with simply fixating on the "pipeline" problem is that it ignores what happens once these women and minorities get these jobs: they face an environment that's hostile and unwelcoming, an environment that gives them no reason to stick around or encourage members of the younger generation to do the same.

Say what now?

Trust me, they're made up.
