No, this is not a passionate debate. One guy is flipping his shit because the theme of this thread is women in IT. That is a painful spot for insecure males and you are a schoolbook example of that.
Insecure males go along with this trendy bullshit. It's hypocricy at it's finest. Affirmative Action for millenials. Stop projecting.
I'm not insecure in the slightest and I can see there is a need for conferences like this. Just because you can't, doesn't mean there isn't.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion! And my intent was never to be diametrically opposed to this event or others like it, just offering a different, very unpopular perspective that events like this are exclusionary and divisive. Unpopular I can live with, how offensive it's been recieved is perplexing!
That's cool. Next time you should try and frame your opinion in a much less condescending and aggressive way and you'll probably be taken seriously.
Maybe you should practice what you preach, Todd. No one takes a hypocrite seriously ;)
I wasn't being condescending at all, just explaining. Seems like you're projecting your issues on to me. Have a good day.
Neither was I, and I already used that line elsewhere. I'm almost flattered.
Telling people they are having temper tantrums when they clearly aren’t is condescending.
I'd go through the effort of taking your childish comments out of context but they come off putrid enough where they sit.
How is it out of context? We were talking about your behaviour being condescending and I gave one example. Based of this thread alone I could give plenty more.
Insecure is being worried about the gender ratio at tech events! lol

"Flip their shit" meaning states a differing opinion while dealing with an onslaught of trendy groupthink? Get real and stop being so dramatic. No ambulances, no strokes, just people having a passionate debate. Wow!
