@Dr. NEETzsche, GED I don’t think you understand what these conferences are for. I won’t engage because I know what your views are and that you believe that white men are the only demographic alongside the model minority you deem worthy of a technical role. So, men who bypass bullshit gender filters by pretending to be non-binary or pretending to be “trans” are in the right. I don’t see “pretending” to be any more or less harmful than claiming to be apart of a demographic you’re not apart of. People love to scapegoat pretending to disqualify someone from certain demographics, like religion. “No true scottsman”. It’s all the same in the end.

@Dr. NEETzsche, GED God forbid women network in a space together when men have dominated the computing industry since post WWII. I don’t understand why that bothers you. Are you a mens rights activist btw?

@Operation Wetback 🇺🇸 The price you pay for sex-based discrimination being forbidden is it's a two way street. The same applies to race-based discrimination. If you gripe about this discrimination against you (you just did) while insisting on having go to your benefit (you just did) is a hypocrisy so egregious that it merits criminal consequences. Jail time, lashes. It's unacceptable, and I'm not accepting it.

@Dr. NEETzsche, GED Are you arguing against laws criminalizing sex based discrimination? Do you think that a law automatically stops discrimination from occurring? You operate under a worldview where you are the ultimate victim for being a huwite man. Life hasn’t treated you well and we must all hear about it. Do you want a gold star? 🥇

@Operation Wetback 🇺🇸 >Do you think that a law automatically stops discrimination from occurring? No. Especially considering how you're openly trying to engage in discrimination while crying about those who bypass it. Do you actually think discrimination is somehow better when it's to your benefit or are you just a psychopath looking for a pretext?

@Dr. NEETzsche, GED Especially considering how you’re openly trying to engage in discrimination while crying about those who bypass it You’re not being discriminated against, you’re being quoted off of things you have said in various chats or on your own profile. My post isn’t about guys “bypassing” anything. Reading comprehension helps, you should read the screenshot of the original post I was actually replying to. Do you actually think discrimination is somehow better when it’s to your benefit or are you just a psychopath looking for a pretext? You view women creating their own spaces and events as a threat to you, you’re not that different from other groups who share the exact same viewpoint. :shranny:

@Operation Wetback 🇺🇸 >You’re not being discriminated against, If my sex/race works against me in any way during any corporate/university process (it does), I objectively am. >Reading comprehension helps Yes it does. You should develop some. >You view women creating their own events and spaces a threat to you You view having to compete with white men on a level playing field a threat to you, and it's because you're inferior to us.

@Dr. NEETzsche, GED If my sex/race works against me in any way during any corporate/university process (it does), I objectively am. It’s just a conference. Not everything is an invitation for you to go on another rant about DEI and how unfair the world is from your PoV. You completely derailed the original point of the post because you get emotional over this topic. You view having to compete with white men on a level playing field a threat to you, and it’s because you’re inferior to us. It’s ironic for you to insist that I’m discriminating against you because you hate the idea of these conferences, while discriminating against me because of my sex and race. Let’s not pretend that it’s the first time you’ve gone out of your way to do this to me, because you did it a lot in DMs and other public threads before. And yet, you have the audacity to say that the world is set against you.

@Operation Wetback 🇺🇸 >It’s just a conference. Not everything is an invitation for you to go on another rant about DEI It's a DEI conference that aims to exclude me on the basis of my sex because the people in it know they can't compete with me without that kind of discrimination. If you want me to stop pointing out that you are discriminating against me, then stop discriminating against me. It's that simple. >It’s ironic for you to insist that I’m discriminating against you because you hate the idea of these conferences, while discriminating against me because of my sex and race. I don't have to discriminate against you. That's the thing. You view sex-neutral and race-neutral practices as discrimination against you because you know you can't compete with white men like myself without handicapping. You're terrified someone like me might take away your training wheels because if we do, you would fall off the bike immediately.

@Dr. NEETzsche, GED You always operate under the assumption that I’m participating in whatever has rustled your jimmies. I’ve never been to any of these conferences. It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic to see you grasping at straws.
