Nope, a couple of unpopular blog posts is not something I wanted to see. I could have googled those myself. I was expecting a 'rage' unleashed - with just one question - 'How dare they do this!?' "How dare they do this to Gender 'x'" The same rage you saw previously when this happened to women.
Now, I am a troll because I oppose your narrow views suggesting 'Feminists are always right. Men are wrong'
Because you posted two links in response to my argument that feminists don't commit to drama when it's the other side that's being hurt. But you paste just two blog posts that never got popular (I stand by this) trying to justify the fact that feminists did create an issue out of this.
My question is "Where's the drama?"
I think to understand the popularity I'm talking about, you need to go back and read out about some recent incidents where a company was brought under fire and posts were written by dozens and dozens of blogs and authors about an incident where a woman got offended because she over-heard a private conversation and about another incident where a company was under fire because they had hired PROFESSIONAL models to promote their hard disks. Now that is immense popularity, not just two blog posts that never got as much attention as described above. My point is, don't favor one gender over the other.
Also, I said unpopular blog posts and not just unpopular blogs. I hope you take some English lessons part-time.
I generally keep track of such tech issues. I never got to read those posts you linked above. If it were really popular as you claim, then I would have seen some twitter hash tags and some re-posts of the article by prominent media organizations.
No, you're the troll because you don't appear to know any feminists, or what feminists read.
Jezebel and Slate's XX Factor are definitely prominent within the feminist blogosphere (if there is such a thing).
You're also trolling by comparing a startup to the clusterfuck that was the Pycon incident. They are just simply not similar events. There have been creepy dating or hookup apps which have come up on Hacker News in the past. And this conversation (your trolling aside) very much resembled them.
So, please, tell us more about what you think feminists should be doing in detail. What should I as a feminist (someone who believes in equality more generally) have done?
Why would there be a shitstorm? That only happens when the self-proclaimed defenders of the male gender feels threatened by someone challenging their world view.
Did you read that jezebel article? I'm not sure how you think "lol reddit r misogyny" is an example of feminists standing up for equal rights for men as they so often claim they do.
