I wanted to add:

I do understand your points, and it is necessary to both give AND take criticism. Everything you bring up is 100% valid.

I assume the desire to not “politicize” the message has at least something to do with the overwhelming likelihood that fully half of the men the book might be meant for (and the half that arguably needs it *more*) will treat the text as radioactive if the book explicitly aligned itself with the political projects of…

Its really weird, I don’t think there has been that much pressure on me to be masculine. Maybe I’m just not observant enough.

Maybe it’s because I’m 38 and have been married, to the most “feminist” guy that I know, for 12 years... but this whole article feels like it’s dumping on a man who is earnestly trying to be a better man. If he’s found to have been a dick or a predator, or covering for a predator, then go ahead on down this path.

This article is about as useless as the book allegedly is.

+1 for tape. I get laughed at frequently for recommending that tech.

You can’t believe how many organizations I deal with that got rid of tape years ago because management determined it was “dinosaur technology”.

In the last two years I’ve been involved in at least a dozen ransomware recovery situations where the…

And also:

“Does that help our earnings-per-share? Then we’re not doing it.”

That’s what I said Saturday: “They’ll restore from backups by Tuesday and have this fixed.” And it’s now Wednesday...what the hell?

Making sure the backups work is equally important with running backups.  Periodic test-restores are either put off or never done.  

2) Have good strong policies of running tape backups so data recoveries can be re-installed.

“This entire fiasco is due to a ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline by the hacking group DarkSide...”

He’s completely wrong about the college part.

THIS WAS A HEART WARMING STORY. GET WELL SOON GARY

It’s not the true “college student with a car on campus” experience without the nightly experience of trawling your neighborhood for curbside parking, memorizing street cleaning times, profoundly and hatefully coveting the parking spots closest to your apartment door, and finding out what a boot is.

Yep, the fact he’s driving a fairly expensive vehicle himself is quite literally the only thing holding me back from applauding this. You can afford a $40K SUV, you can afford a parking pass.

Yeah, I laughed when I saw he is driving a JL Rubicon but complaining about what amounts to a bit more than $20/mo for parking. I would have killed to pay $250/yr to park on campus even in the late 90s at a small-ish school in middle  of nowhere Wisconsin.

I checked and, yeah, Texas Southern general parking permits are $250 or more, and I can totally sympathize with a broke college kid not wanting to pay that.

Bizarre how her mother was made fun of when she started a company that made an absolute fortune (not even close to an easy task) while the people ridiculing her had everything handed to them from the outset and some generations at that.
