Feminists browbeat GitHub into capitulation over 'Meritocracy' slogan

The tech industry isn’t still predominantly white and male because white men are better at their jobs than everyone else, it’s because many white men have had more opportunities to succeed than their minority and female counterparts.

Feminist Logic:

We dont want to work to the top, we just want to get these high end jobs without doing shit. Lets just forget about these guys working 80 hour weeks with no overtime, and instead focus on that one CEO who makes a lot of money for not doing anything. He's surely a good indication of men in general /s

If more people ignored these stupid as shit requests, we could focus on actually getting work done(what they should be getting paid to do) instead of pandering to the most insane demands ever.

One employee, Horvath says, thought she was rejected for membership in Double Union, a feminist hackerspace, because of the rug

It's funny how they are all for meritocracy, but then deny membership to someone not because of their input, but because of the rug somebody else placed somewhere.

And this a mere month after the C+= debacle. GitHub is really showing it's true colours.

Despite often expressing revulsion about advances from the beta males who make up the majority of tech workers, scientists, hackers, atheists, etc., feminists seem to want very badly to force themselves into these mainly male, and almost entirely male-created, domains. Whether it’s the money, the sense of power they get from pushing socially awkward men around, or just old fashioned nosiness, feminists like Rebecca Watson simply can’t keep themselves away from them.

If said women actually added to the ambience, were pleasant and helpful, or simply made themselves a neutral presence, it wouldn’t be a problem, but this is not how it goes down.

How do you deal with these kinds of people? Sometimes, it might be tempting to adopt their tactics and try to shut them down, but that would be a violation of our principles. Instead, we should speak against them, defy them, and refuse to comply. I suppose we could call it “cultural disobedience.” Feel free, also, to hold those who cave in to their demands to be every bit as responsible for pointless censorship as the feminists. Every company, every organization and every community that submits to feminist demands should be held accountable for making the world a little less free.

To repeat: The risk-takers are predominately men, and consequently the few winners are men, but also the vast majority of losers. In Alice Warwick’s world it almost seems as if the wild economic success attained by a very few is not meritocratic just because there is no 50-50 gender split. However, where are all those female CEOs supposed to come from if women aren’t interested in making those big bets, the big gambles that sometimes that lead to great payoffs, but are much more likely to end in disaster?

Wasn't there a thread recently about how Asian men have certain privileges in Software Development over women? And to be honest, I see WAY more Asians in software than I see any other group (short of whites). But given that Asians represent under 5% of the US population, that's a huge difference. If 30-40% of people working in software (where I work) happen to be Asian, and less than 5% are black and the rest are white, what am I supposed to think? Where's the "racism and privilege" or whatever these people call it?

And I had more opportunities to succeed than my female counterparts? Bro, I can't tell you how many times I was sitting in class, and the whole fucking class was dedicated to some company (like IBM) coming in, giving us a lecture about new internship and job opportunities, and then after wasting everyone's time, telling us it was for girls/women only. We had like 1-5 girls in a room of 40+ people sitting there for an hour for this shit and the vast majority were unqualified because of their gender. I have never NEVER NEVER NEVER, EVER in my fucking life heard of an internship or job opportunity that was only open to men.

Women earn more college degrees and out earn men in the younger generations. When these policies push past the topping points, will it be that women(it will only be white women but they are the only group the vast majority of feminists give a damn about) are just better than men?

Okay. Is it me? Because I really fail to see the scandal here. A fucking RUG?

I can't help but think that people who do things like that have probably been taught how to think by people who can't see a free society working.
