Don’t You Know Who I Am?

Whenever I see someone taking down these absolute bottom of the barrel incel dork on social media, it just feels like shoo-ing a squirrel off the bird feeder. Just not even worth taking action

MIPS?! Poor girl.

I manage a software engineering organization at an aerospace company and if I had to rank all my folks, the women would be disproportionately high on the list. It boggles my mind that anyone would discount someone's programming ability because of their gender.

I don't understand why people absolutely need to make everything about man vs woman.

If it was a male model those people would have written exactly the same. If tomorrow comes out an article saying the same thing about bred pitt everyone would be suspicious about that being fake too

Since the two jobs are so disconnected from each other it sounds unlikely and they assumed it was some clickbait fake post, that's all.

I'm absolutely for equality and against any discrimination against women or any other category, but making this into a gender battle is ridiculous

It's almost like they don't know who Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Radia Perlman, etc. are.

I'm sure she's a programmer. But she's a programmer who drops her Stack Overflow score... let's just say that's a red flag in my book. (For all programmers).

For non programmers, it's like someone dropping their reddit karma score, or the number of their subscribers on Youtube as the first thing they say. Basically "my most important accomplishment is some rather unimportant digits".

(Views matter far more than subscribers on youtube, mostly because subscribers can easily be manipulated)

Weird flex, but ok

I don't understand some people. Why do you go online and try to bring down strangers that you've never met in your life and probably never will? Why? What do you gain beside looking like a complete asshole?

Guess what, if that was some pumped-up muscle-bound male model that was 3/4 naked walking down the runway, people would be saying similar things about him too.

Itt: people getting upset over joke comments.

If there was a post about a male model saying the same thing the comments would be exactly the same. Not everything is about gender or race.

I always sort of hated this image. The point seems to be that one should jump to the idea the replies are racist and / or sexist. But when you actually look at who the post is from it’s clearly from some “facts” account / company thing. Which honestly should lead to a degree of incredulity. It’s the same kind of thing as “this 22yr old bought just their second house” and then you read two paragraphs and actually their parents gave them a small loan of a million dollars to start their real estate business.

Like, the whole point of the post is to bait people into saying that kind of thing, so when people fall for it it’s kinda understandable.

ITT: basically a reddit comment section on a post with any woman.

Guess the "it feels like Lemmy is more positive" days are over. So it goes.
