Thank you for explaining absolutely nothing. “oh look, someone has a question? will I answer it or call them an idiot? let me be completely unhelpful and call them an idiot”.

Thanks. @[email protected] really should’ve provided a source…

That does sound like a right-winger 🤔 Best guess I’ve seen so far. Thanks.

Explain it to us.

Maybe, but I’d like to understand the joke / “joke”, if there’s anything to understand. It could be just “hurdur, I insulted them by saying gender because they’re young” or maybe there really is some kind of reasoning.

Wat?

Ding ding ding! Communists like to blame capitalism for everything (and vice versa), but anybody not blinded by ideology can understand that the problem is the human element. People like to imagine perfect systems, but those cannot exist with flawed creatures within them, especially when the flawed creatures operate the system. All of those systems require constant vigilance.

Way to ignore all context and focus on the one thing triggering you. “This tree in particular, sir!”

What are you arguing? 3rd wave feminism doesn’t exist?

Wordpress supports federation. Or are you looking for something else?

“what should I say to prove it’s not a knee-jerk response? Oh, I know, double down on the knee-jerk response I had earlier!”

If you repeat it often enough, I becomes the truth in your head.

Fourth kinds

“My programming tells me I have to disagree. I don’t know why so I’ll throw out the term I was taught to use”

ha! incel!

You sound like those right-wingers who think communism and socialism are evil terms that should be misconstrued as insults. “Guys, I called them a liberal! Where are my internet points?”

Must be USAian or Japanese. It’s terminal.

Anon is probably in the US: social media, smartphones, and 3rd wave feminism in a deeply religious, traditional, and divided society would explain their problems.

No worries, as a European, English isn’t my first language either :P

And as a response: if my job depended on being on the “right side of things” I wouldn’t make such controversial statements. Not only is it dumb in the moment, but also for the future. People are very polarised and even if she had changed her mind by now, there’d still be outrage “omg, look at what she said years ago! I don’t trust that she changed!”. Of course she supposedly doubled down, which is even dumber IMO, but you get the point.

I use this anonymous account because what the opinions I express here will probably evolve and I don’t want any future employer putting me into a box due to a comment made in jest, rage, or whatever. Revealing your identity online for anything other than business is just asking for trouble.

Would you if it’s something you care about

Did you forget a word?

I’m having trouble with the rest of your post too. Autocorrect must’ve struck or something.

That’s great. Since when and does everybody take psych 101?

And just to give a wider perspective (regardless of her origins), not every language makes the distinction and some up until recently did not. Look at the translations on (wiktionary). Many of them are transliterations of the English word. Which is not a surprise since the concept of gender is quite recent (1950-1960s) and was most likely very US-centric.

Unless they are huge and ultra-wide, I don’t see the point. They don’t add anything at small sizes except a certain aesthetic. At large sizes, it’s a quality of life improvement as things on the edges are closer than with flat screens. They were more expensive when I looked for them, so test it for the 14-30 day return period and see if you actually like it.

I don’t understand why people don’t keep such comments to their anonymous, unofficial accounts. You can hold such views in private and still treat people with respect, but saying these things officially changes everything. The co-organiser is in a space where she should know better. She then even doubled down

When asked whether she still held her more problematic views in a follow-up comment, Young responded ambiguously with “I fully stand by the statement you are commenting on.”

In for a penny, in for a pound, eh?
