"3 Ways You Can Be an Ally to Women in Tech" - or: how stackoverflow is jumping on the feminism bandwagon

dr_warlock · 2017-10-06T11:07:39+00:00

When I go to stackoverflow, all I want is help for my programming problems, not bitches and betas complaining about women and their feelz.

When I watch a sport, all I want to see is displays of skill and people hitting eachother, not talking about women and their boobie problems.

When I take a class, all I want is relevant material for my certification or degree, not info on female oppression, rape, or white priveledge.

Motherfuckers always bending over backwards to cover material outside their domain to help the fake problems of women and 'minorities'. Get a life, read real books, and grow a pair. Just a bunch of spineless chumps.

Hilarious how they use the word "ally." Being an "ally" means you support each other. The support they want flows only one way. Should be, "3 Ways You Can Be Furniture for Women in Tech"

Mr_Bell · 2017-10-06T11:48:05+00:00

Right. Just like that other article about how to be an ally to women working in plumbing or in garbage collection.

Except those articles have never been written because those industries involve hard work and are “kinda yucky” and not as glamorous. So they just let men do those for them.

I work in the tech industry and a very liberal city and this kind of shit happens ALL THE TIME. I can't tell you how often I get invited to "Allies of Women in Tech" events and similar bullshit. You know what the funniest part is? You only see people complaining about not enough women in the industry known for cushy, in-demand, high-paying jobs. Where are the "Allies for Women in Construction and Welding" events?

I even interviewed at a tech company that had a forced 50/50 male to female ratio. Meaning, if they're down a couple women and you are the best candidate for the job - well, too bad.

I spoke with a group of SJW's about the fact that women simply aren't majoring in STEM and are opting for teaching, pre-med, and law degrees and that maybe, just maybe, there are less women in tech because they simply aren't interested in it. Their response? Society pushes women away from theses degrees and men discourage them from pursuing them. Keep in mind, they have no problem with a field like nursing having virtually 0 male presence. These people are a lost cause, believe me.

Let me tell you all a story. I work as a programmer. Currently at my office we are only men(thanks God I live in eastern europe and nobody gives a shit about "gender equality"), but since I've been hired to this company, I had two women co-workers. First one resisted only a month. She didn't knew shit, she lied in her cv and she didn't pass the easiest questions in the interview, I don't really know why she got hired.

The second one lasted three months. Her desk was next to mine. While I was working hard she spent time watching netflix and eating like a fucking cow(she was over 100kg, muh genetics), while I was doing extra hours she wasn't even doing her part of the job. She wasn't paying attention in the meetings and she was annoying as fuck.

But guess what. They both were paid as much as the rest of us, even tho their contribution to the project was close to none.

Guess what? Women are shit in this industry. Simple as that. I would prefer a high-school student as my co-worker instead of a cow who finished college but knows shit.

Yes, Mrs. Kristina Lustig

Yeah, I scrolled down to far and found the green-haired hog. Ug...

As someone who has actually hired a lot of women into tech companies, I'll tell you that most of them are a disease. That come into the workplace and try to change things to suit their personal needs. Young tech orgs need to argue. A lot. You are making choices that will decide the fate of the company five years down the line. The conflict and subsequent winning ideas really, really matter. The first thing women will try to do is find a compromise that makes everyone happy. No, you dumb cunt, making us happy in the moment will not solve our problems over the next five years.

ChampOfTheFuture · 2017-10-06T12:05:10+00:00

Saw it this morning. Didn't click. Don't give it attention, negative or positive. Seriously it's the only way out.

redlurker9 · 2017-10-06T12:26:10+00:00

Not surprising, 99% of men in IT are white knight bitches. Which is perfect for me as I can slay nerd vaginas without any hassle.

Hillarysdilddo_2016 · 2017-10-06T13:12:13+00:00

Dude. Stack overflow is SJW central. Joel Spolsky, the creator, is a huge leftist SJW faggot a-la Facebook, Google, Intel.

I don't know what it is, maybe growing up a malnourished, fat beta slob with vitamin D deficiency makes these boys into low test nu males with feminine tendencies. I really would like a scientific study on how to cure these epic levels of cuckdom.

Anyway this Joel guy often writes shit like "open borders is the future" and pushes his SJW leftist tripe on the rest of the community. So it is not the first time they pull shit like that.

This whole "you can be an ally to women" fuck them. Sure legions of beta males will white knight for m'lady thinking they're doing good in the world, but I'll continue to undermine their faggot efforts.

Where is my ally? Where are my shortcuts? If it's too much trouble for you to go to school, study, graduate, find a job, and go to work then fuck you. You're not fit for the job.

They can take this coddling, discriminatory, bullshit and shove it up their asses.

I know of three women in corporate who got pregnant. One of them "worked from home" months before the baby was due. "Work from home" was code for did not do jack shit. Literally. No calls, no emails, no work nothing. The company doesn't terminate her because I guess they are an ally.

The other women take like 4 months of paid maternity leave. Then quit when it's time to come back.

So remember gents when she's paid as much as you, really she is working 60% as hard and making the same pay.

So by all means.. Be a pathetic bitch. Be an ally to women in tech. Cut your own balls off and suck your bull's cock while you're at it.

Robocompany · 2017-10-06T16:25:18+00:00

This is nothing. I'm an electrical engineer and I have a Master's degree and a lot of research to my name. But mostly companies right now only want to hire women. Most of my female classmates have got jobs while men just watch. This is how they solve the gender problem in tech. Have quotas and only look to hire women.

MoDuReddit · 2017-10-06T10:57:01+00:00

What a surprise, a died-hair feminist clamoring for female supremacy and discrimination based on sex. And of course, no comments allowed.

Atavisionary · 2017-10-06T13:19:11+00:00

Why are men better at tech, and math, and physics, and sports, and lots of other things? Why are most high achievers men?

Also, something like this was done at github as well.

Solistx · 2017-10-06T15:18:50+00:00

What a depressing world we live in. Stackoverflow was the best friend I never had and now they want to take that away too!

quicklogaccount · 2017-10-06T13:12:17+00:00

You see, it saddens me that people are looking into "humanizing" otherwise hard fields to accommodate the needs of soft people, not just women.
When Sarah Sharp left the kernel development community she addressed precisely the need for that, folks need to be more soft to each other. With all the (very) due respect for her, should you think that's the way to go, lead a project that way and the market shall do the rest.

The absence of women in tech does strike as a societal issue to me, but not by any means one to be addressed in the companies. How about telling folks that being numbersmiths is better than writing pretty heartfelt mature compositions in high school, so that STEM appeals to normal people and not only to those that are otherwise bad in writing and good with math.

I'm Brazilian. Only actual geniuses can manage to work and learn the whole shit we expect teens to know. Upper middle class folks don't need to work so the smart guys, 2% and such, can fare well too. The whole rest just says crap like "ok, I suck at math but I suuuuuuper love Sociology, I'll make a Durkheim tatoo" and graduates without being able to grasp compound interests.
So you get folks, men and women alike, in Engineering, having a hard time with high school math reviews, and running campaigns for "less stressful college environments" and "psychologically adequate" environments, creating Engineers that can't fucking understand what other Engineers say and whine about their bosses being "terrible in teaching things".

reydemierde · 2017-10-06T16:18:31+00:00

I don't get this whole ally thing. Why the fuck would I want to be an ally to someone who will try and compete with me. To me I will ally with people who I think I can benefit from and help them as well. I have zero interest in helping others compete with me. If I have a privilege why the fuck would I want to give that privilege up and have a shittier life so someone else can move up in the world. The whole argument about check your privilege is insane to me. I'm supposed to purposefully make my life shittier so a stranger can have more money and success? Yeah fuck that non-sense. You want what's mine then come and take it but I sure as fuck won't give it to you.

MattyAnon · 2017-10-06T13:28:21+00:00

Seriously, what's up with this kind of bullshit?

The never ending feminism machine, enabled and supported by pathetic white knights.

More subtlely .... the "everyone is equal" narrative has now been rammed so far home that people believe that absence of women must be caused by male oppression.

At least in cushy STEM jobs. Noone is asking where there are so few women on oilrigs. Because the answer is obvious: women don't want to. When it comes to STEM however, noone dares say "women don't want to do that"..... so the narrative says it has to be caused by male oppression of the wimminz.

There was a study where women's voices were obscured so they wouldn't be prejudiced against in telephone interviews. What happened? Women did worse. They had their female privilege revoked and had to compete on a level playing field.

wtf793 · 2017-10-06T17:56:51+00:00

Jesus christ not this site too! I liked stackoverflow. And lets face it, women don't choose IT jobs.

"According to the National Center for Women & Information Technology, only 26% of professional computing roles in the workforce in the US are held by women."

I study computer engineering and there's like 15 girls in my class of 75: so that's like 20% of the class.

ceilingscorpion · 2017-10-06T15:55:29+00:00

The three things mentioned in the article are things I do to for all co-workers. I don't see how this is a feminist issue as the author frames it in the introduction. The author is making a gendered issue where one does not exist. (Correlation does not imply causation)

She makes a remark on the now infamous Google memo, but it is apparent that she has not read it and instead ascribes to the hive-mind that is characteristic of stereotypical feminists. The point of that memo was that ratios in Tech are skewed because men and women have different intelligences. It's the same reason why women overwhelmingly dominate professions such as teaching and nursing.

I will concede that there are a ton of smarter women than me in Tech, but these women don't write blog posts about being treated unequally by their colleagues; their work speaks for itself.

[deleted] · 2017-10-06T16:44:57+00:00

whats funny is if u go to the link the author is green haired looks like the stereotypical sjw to me.

wickedtuesday · 2017-10-08T14:46:36+00:00

I love how these studies and stats always come from Non-Profits with official sounding names: "National Center for Women & Information Technology".

You are a non-profit who is clearly driven by an agenda. I am not going to buy any stats or studies you push out. 99.9% of the time these feminist non-profits cherry-pick the fuck out of their data.

Anecdote time:

I had quite a few female friends in high-school. Most of them were of the "Ra, Ra. Girl Power, strong independent women" types and kept on being this way through college. Hell, they still preach that shit.

Guess what fields they all entered? Liberal Arts and teaching.

Not a SINGLE one of them even considered entering computer science or engineering. Yet, all of them still bitch to this day about how their needs to be more women in STEM fields.

YOU wouldn't even consider entering STEM fields and I know for a fact at least 4 of them were offered scholarships if they did enter STEM fields. But none of them did.

If you aren't going to enter a STEM field with a scholarship, than why do expect any other women too? This just doesn't make sense.

I know a few women that did go into STEM fields (mostly computer science) and do good work in their field, but when the majority just don't want to or care to who is to blame?

I know! Let's blame men so we don't have too take responsibility for our choices. /s

Side note: My roommate is a staunch feminist and all "Strong Independent women" yet all she does is bitch that no one will hire her even though she "deserves" the job, can't cook and refuses to, and bosses her beta BF around like no tomorrow.

Yet, somehow getting other people to do everything for you makes you "Strong and Independent".

bastardstepchild · 2017-10-06T18:14:06+00:00

Look at her picture - she’s actually a literal blue-haired feminist. Also notice that, unlike every other blog post on stackoverflow, the comments section was pre-emptively closed before anybody could comment.

1v1crown · 2017-10-06T19:35:24+00:00

It's funny how roughly 18% of all CS programming degrees are women, and women complain that there are less women in CS careers than men...

SaintHolland · 2017-10-07T06:27:19+00:00

Why do they never make a fuss over the lack of male teachers in schools? In Australia it never gets mentioned even though it's a big problem.

Tai1998 · 2017-10-06T13:02:12+00:00

LMAO, can't even check some c++ functions freely now xD

RPInjectionToTheVein · 2017-10-06T16:14:52+00:00

I know an even better way

Fucking them

Should be easy since competition in tech is usually minimal

[deleted] · 2017-10-06T20:48:02+00:00

Goddamn this is all so depressing. I get that there are always going to be extremist freaks, but the fact that normal people go along with this shit just makes you lose your hope.

[deleted] · 2017-10-06T23:07:51+00:00

Comments closed. Of course.

Can't allow people to encounter a dissenting thought.

dereko33 · 2017-10-07T06:28:35+00:00

Have you talked to women OP? How did you form this opinion? I have long term relationships and friendships with several women in engineering academic disciplines and professions. They tell me constantly how much they feel they have to prove themselves, because the very fact they are a woman makes them feel discredited. Maybe men, who hold the majority, should try to open their ears to women before quickly writing them off.

SkorchZang · 2017-10-07T00:11:54+00:00

Saw an ad out of the corner of my eye recently: "Here's a list of 183 women who can speak at your tech conference". Like she's going to get on the speaker list simply because she has some vagina. She really honestly thinks those women OUGHT to get on the list because vagina. Picture it to yourself, 183 teched-up honeys are tapping their foot impatiently, waiting for that invitation email to come talk about vagina at a tech conference.

Bitches are hilarious overall, that's why we love them.

newls · 2017-10-07T11:03:54+00:00

Been happening on SO for a VERY long time. It's pervasive across the entire Stack Exchange network. Only need to look at the questions on the Academia one to see spineless chumps asking whether it's okay to do things. They just want permission to do anything.
