well the point specifically said white men. not men, white men. i was reacting to the content - what does it matter who wrote it? aren't we discussing ideas here?


The article was written by a woman, so why would you assume it was written by a man? We're discussing ideas, yes, and those ideas have a lot to do with gender.


> so why would you assume it was written by a man?

i dunno, maybe it's because i'm sexist, misogynist asshole that supports the patriarchy?

you people are making a mockery of yourselves, to be honest. it's kind of pathetic.


Not the parent, but I can't be the only guy who uses "guy" as a synonym for "person" (i.e., not necessarily "male person").


Why do you care about the gender of the author so much? I thought we were supposed to evaluate things based on merit...
