Re: [LAU] [Fwd: Re: Fuck your sexism]

I mean, I really understand why someone would hate that wallpaper--
especially as a default. I think it's a strawman to say that equality
is ignoring the differences between males and females. People just
want a little respect and to be taken seriously, and I totally get
that.

But I think there's a really backwards justification when it comes to
sexism in tech-- "There are so few women that it *must* be because of
sexism". It's not true and I just get really tired of hearing it. My
personal thoughts on the matter is that it's because geeks are an easy
target, and there's a lot of vicious anti-intellectual subtext to go
along with that line of reasoning, too.
