Not sure what’s mysogynstic about saying women use certain terminology to describe men or how they feel about Valentine’s Day? He’s not saying “women are so hormonal and so blah blah blah”, he’s simply basing this on a pattern that exists more within women than men. Sure it’s not 100% science but I’d say it’s not…

for those readers that don’t speak American/Canadian English, this is a word that only a woman would ever use to describe men

The woman thing isnt really offensive. Its an opinion. The conclusion could quite readily be wrong. It isn’t offensive though. In my experience those words are most often (though not always) used by female writers, go read Jezebel comments for about 5 minutes. The valentines thing, yeah his observation seems…

Just to be clear, we are now so politically correct that we can’t even acknowledge that women, on average, care more about Valentine’s Day than men do, or that men and women, on average, may use certain words with higher frequency, without it being deemed offensive?

The idea that a woman did this, on the other had, because “only women call men scumbags and men hate Valentine’s Day,” is bonkers—not to mention downright offensive. Welcome to the mind of John McAfee.

But you can somewhat accurately guess someone’s gender based on their writing. For example, if I copy and paste this article here: http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.… it says the author is a weak male. So McAfee has a point.

Don’t forget, Cougar Life data was protected while Established Men was also hacked. I know women cannot be accused, but I'm raising an eyebrow.

I agree with you about stereotypes. As a matter of fact, I’ll take it a step further and say they have more than just “an inkling” of truth. It’s actually something I’ve brought up in conversations on multiple occasions. Steroetyples exist for a reason...because they are, more often than not, true. Or at least true…

Agreed. This is what FBI profilers do all the time. They look at the facts and determine what kind of demographic the perp belongs to: i.e. white male in his 40s from the midwest whose parents divorced in his teens

I think you can use it. It is just Snowden’s axe to grind might have been a benefit to the public.

From a completely statistical and security point of view...he’s not wrong. On either count.

Pssshhh.. this is OBVIOUSLY McAfee prepping for a 2020 run at the GOP Presidential Nomination..

I often confuse Zaphod Beeblebrox with McAfee

You’re kidding right?

ya that escalated super quick

The fuck?

You obviously run in less virtuous circles.
