Okay, Feminism, It’s Time We Had a Talk About Empathy

That was interesting, liked that. Not liking the anti-pattern part, but liked the insight. Or at least I'm dense enough to find it insightful.

She's a good writer, worth following. I'd follow her blog in my RSS reader if I could figure out how. I'm not going to play data silo games on medium, so oh well, too bad.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who sees that the way out of these discrimination scenarios is looking to the future, at what we can do differently, not just at what wrongs have been or are being committed. Those are important to recognize, but there's very little we can do about them. I was shocked at her account of being accused of being complicit in her own oppression by recounting her own positive experiences. Who does that help?

Edit: what I'm trying to say is that this person seems to get it, and as a nice benefit phrased it in a way that balances sympathy with the need to change, which is probably more than can be said for my comment.

I also don't get the feminist push for more female programmers, scientists, etc. You mean you WANT your kind to sit in isolation for long periods of time, day in and day out, for years at a time? To me, it's something you fall into like drug and alcohol abuse, but more positive.

Online, no one knows you're a dog.
