I don't understand where you are getting this from. As I have stated twice now, I am not saying that if you are a woman, your idea should be accepted every time. How about the classic situation where a woman, or other discriminated person, shoots an idea to everybody else, is completely ignored, then has his/her idea…
you are not listening either, so this conversation makes no sense. yes women might be taken advantege of, but so is everybody else. now let me ask you this, what would you do to change this? if say, a certain percentage of new ideas that get implemented, hat to be as high as the percentage of women in the workforce do you…
i feel like this has been her strategy from the getgo, and it worked pretty well. like she only disabled the comments on her youtube videos when she got waaaay popular and people started actually speaking for her in the comments. doesn't make such a nice headline as "evil gamers wanna kill me!" anyhow i think the president…
What does any of this have to do with percentages? The problem at hand is simple: Women, or other discriminated groups, can give solid ideas but there are situations where they will not be credited or they will be ignored solely on the basis that they are a woman or of a certain group, and sometimes their ideas are then…
linkov: She initially was going to go to the talk anyway, until it was made clear that the university police were going to be pretty much worthless in deterring a real gun threat. It's not just her life, dude. It's everyone else there. Think about this like a normal human being with a sense of not just self-preservation,…
It's not a contest really, and telling people how they should feel and rate their own experiences with harassment because you think someone else had it worse is pretty shitty tbh. I've gotten detailed death threats in person, do I get a medal? Also, does the reason behind why you get them matter? Getting them over anything…
This is just my point of view. The change needs to happen. As an illustrator I get really itchy when clients asks me to objectify women and minorities because "it's what people want" or "it's what everyone else is doing" and I usually end up not taking those jobs. I think sexism and intolerance against various sexualities…
This is going to be a little out of order, because I want to get to the most important thing first. Also, I'm not getting in-depth on everything, because I'm sick and it takes a stupid amount of effort to focus on this stuff. This right here? This is where the big breakdown in communication is happening. There are two…
Exactly. First of all, let's (try and?) establish a fact of life. We all experience situations at work on a fairly regular basis that are frustrating and make us feel like we're being treated unfairly to one degree or another. Maybe you put forward an idea that get's shot down (ouch). Or maybe some guy who's a real jerk…
