| 2 | I don't know where my daughter is.Do what you need to do to take care of your kid. You'll probably get fucked for it in court later, but none of that matters right now. Document everything so you can show it to the judge. | /r/MensRights | 04/04/13 06:11 AM |
| 1 | Donglegate: Why the Tech Community Hates FeministsThis belongs in /r/cringe. These idiots are doing way more to set women back than any "patriarchy." | /r/MensRights | 31/03/13 02:36 AM |
| 1 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.She's the root cause of this specific situation. If you want to go back further, you'll wind up at human lust for power and deeply embedded tribalism. | /r/MensRights | 25/03/13 02:59 AM |
| 2 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.What dick jokes did she make at the conference? The only one I know of was on her Twitter months ago. If she was making them at the conference, that would be a whole new delicious layer of hypocrisy. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 11:14 PM |
| 1 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.Just a thought. And you should be ashamed of it. :-) | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 08:27 PM |
| 2 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.There were two. The two devs in question (Who I imagine are friends) had mutually decided that "I'd fork his [GitHub] repo" is the highest form of flattery. It wasn't even a sexual joke, although the unfortunate nomenclature of GitHub makes it sound like one. It could be rephrased as "I'd clone his repo" (which would be more inline with Git parlance anyway), but the former sounds funnier. So one guy (probably Alex Reid) said that. The second joke is less clear. Nobody seems to have any context o… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 08:21 PM |
| 1 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.I'm partial to the term "thought-shaming." | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 08:16 PM |

| 1 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.Hell yes, PlayHaven can go eat a dongle. I'm defending the employees (the ones at PyCon) not the company. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 06:29 PM |
| 2 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.Well said. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 06:25 PM |
| 3 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.Read the articles on the topic. They ALL subscribe to the "everyone was wrong here" fallacy of gray. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 06:23 PM |
| 5 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.Let's not drag race into it. The issue is complicated enough as it is. Read my earlier post about why so many conferences are signing up for this crap. Men genuinely do want to make a better world for women, but I don't think a lot of them realize how far the goalposts have been moved back. Things like "equality" and "non-threatening environments" sound good at first glance, but their meanings have been hijacked. Couple that with the excellent radfem outrage machine which makes noncompliance a P… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 06:22 PM |
| 1 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.Don't worry, I believe it will self correct. That level of hysteria and outrage just isn't sustainable over the long term. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 06:11 PM |
| 2 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.They did do something wrong, but I appreciate what you are saying; that they were essentially forced into doing wrong (or felt they were) by the sexual McCarthyism. I think a lot of you are confusing "PlayHaven" with "the PlayHaven devs" (Alex Reid and Mr. Hank.) PlayHaven was definitely wrong to fire Mr. Hank, and I think they'll suffer for it. The devs who were making the jokes were fine, and perfectly within their rights. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 06:07 PM |
| 3 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.The organizations that run these conferences think they need to grow their attendance, and getting women to show up sounds like an easy way to get a 50-100% increase in attendance very quickly. The RadFem folk make a very convincing-sounding argument. "Women won't come because your conference environment is hostile toward women. Fix the threatening environment, and watch the money flow in!" All well and good until they get into the actual tactics how to implement such a policy. What is "hostile"… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 06:05 PM |
| 1 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.I support any person's right to report overtly sexualized behavior that makes them feel uncomfortable in a professional environment. She still has the right to report what she feels offended by. Nobody should feel that they don't have the right to report offensive behavior. I think maybe "right" is the wrong word to use. Of course she has the "right" to report things she finds offensive. She has the "right" to report that there's a 6 foot tall yellow bird on stage that only she can see. So yes, … | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 05:57 PM |
| 1 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.I think we're in full agreement. You'll notice I called out "radfems" and "3rd wave feminists" in my rant, but then defended feminism toward the bottom. I, and I think most people on this board, want women (people!) to live in a society where they don't have to be afraid of being raped, murdered, or fired because of their gender, orientation, race, or creed. The radfems are squandering all of that good will by making the argument about jokes and "microaggressions." It pisses me off. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 05:49 PM |
| 1 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.Seriously. The problem is that even people who disagree in principle don't know how to vocalize it. How do you argue against a policy which nominally forbids sexual harassment? There's no way to have a nuanced discussion about it, because the SJW thugs are going to frame your argument as "anti women" no matter how you phrase it. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 05:47 PM |
| 5 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.PlayHaven (the company) capitulated to the SJW outrage machine before it even finished starting up. They should be ashamed of themselves, and I think they'll lose a lot of good developers and potential hires over this. If they had had their employee's back, none of this would have happened. I think they owe the fired dev and the entire tech community an apology. The PlayHaven developers (Alex Reid and Mr-Hank) were innocent victims that even their supposed defenders have been throwing under the … | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 05:43 PM |
| 3 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.Hence my "is (or was)" point. I think second wave feminism ("Women can do anything men can do!", "Stop slapping women on the ass or making them sleep with you for promotions!") was a generally good movement. As someone else pointed out, this may or may not have happened anyway regardless of feminism, but I generally think it's good to have activists helping to push the status quo forward. These were real problems that would not want my daughter to have to face. The current crop of third wave "fe… | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 05:38 PM |
| 2 | Opinion: The PlayHaven devs had nothing to apologize for, DongleGate was entirely Adria Richards' fault, and PyCon is stupid.That's really cool. Thanks for the link. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 05:32 PM |
| 5 | Dongle jokes are normal main stream conversation with ADULTS.Your comment just raped my brain. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 09:03 AM |
| 1 | Dongle jokes are normal main stream conversation with ADULTS.Amen. I just posted a rant about this. Hoping to spark a conversation about how so many people are focused on how Richards could have addressed the situation better, without any discussion as to whether or not it was a situation that needed to be addressed at all. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 09:01 AM |
| 7 | Dongle jokes are normal main stream conversation with ADULTS.And that Women, is why you cannot have nice things. Please don't paint all women with Adria Richards' personal brand of insanity. I know plenty of awesome female programmers who can code circles around me and dish out the filthy jokes. Women are welcome in tech. Self indulgent morons will not be tolerated, regardless of gender, orientation, creed, or color. Edit: But yes, THE FEELS. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 08:59 AM |
| 6 | The Day CNN changed a misandrist headline for article written by feminist.Obviously the question of what it is that compels a person to commit rape is an important one and one that we haven't entirely answered yet as a society. It's worth noting that your definition of rape and a radfem's definition of rape are probably quite different. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/13 06:53 AM |
| 4 | re Adria Richards: this was not a sad incident, it was the breaking of a new dawn in gender relationsNo, sorry. A dongle joke at a tech conference will always be acceptable. There are plenty of people (male and female) who can laugh along or ignore it. Those that can't are not welcome and should stay home. What kind of humorless dystopian hell do you want to live in? | /r/MensRights | 23/03/13 05:47 AM |
| 2 | re Adria Richards: this was not a sad incident, it was the breaking of a new dawn in gender relationsWell said. | /r/MensRights | 23/03/13 05:45 AM |
