This is the kind of knee-jerk dismissal that made me lose respect for the reddit community. What she's saying resonates with a lot of people, especially marginalized ones, and for that reason alone she's worth hearing out.
The problem is one side of that is ALWAYS marginalized, right? The difference is she's pulling support because it's her side this time.
Is one side always marginalized? Maybe in political matters you could frame it that way, but I don't think that's the case in most tech-related discussions. This is the fairly narrow case of discussing diversity in tech.
Yeah, that's fair. I guess I was talking in the context of the political article.
In what way a group of people that has the almost unanimous support of mainstream media, the current government and the (most likely) upcoming government can be called marginalized?
So just because she says something it's worthless? Did you bother to see if the point she was making made any sense?
If it had been anyone else I would have read with more interest and sincerity. I'm not arguing with her message, I'm stating my opinion, that Ellen Pao has zero credibility in the tech community, and should be just as disregarded as Trump.
That's not a serious argument. People you dislike can be right. Hypocrites can be right. Hell, even Trump is right on some issues. That doesn't mean I like him or will vote for him.
