why people who believe in meritocracy are termed anti-feminists? No I don't even remotely know Pax, heck this is the first time I heard of him. Guys seriously do you want to sink to the level of quota and reservation based on gender now? It is exteremely difficult to get talented and motivated people in tech, let us not put gender bias or elitism on people who care about their field (may be just their company/org). I am not saying Pax is not anti-feminist, may very well be, but so much hate against him, He didn't say women must be banned from our industry, he didn't even say women are dumb (or less capable). I am all for equal rights for all gender(which exist till now, which may come to exist in future). Is it so hard for all of us to accept that the most motivated, accomplished and talented people must be rewarded the most in our industry? Is meritocracy bad or plain stupid? I hope HN folks take their heads out their rear and deeply contemplate about this, Yes one need to be civil in public forums, but that doesn't mean one is not entitled to his/her opinion. Come On guys we are better than this (including me).And BTW he defended himself for being called ahole by his co-worker in a very dignified fashion, that is something!Let us be rational about things like this.
