For convenience's sake,
> I want to see you use those legendary bodies and that legendary strength and that legendary courage and the tenderness that you say you have in behalf of women; and that means against the rapists, against the pimps, and against the pornographers. It means something more than a personal renunciation. It means a systematic, political, active, public attack. And there has been very little of that.
But do RTFA :)
Your argument, even though it reads like liberal laissez-faire stuff, actually is: the government is being controlled by corporations.
So, your solution of "stop regulation" is offtopic. Come up with something relevant to your own argument first. Like, hmm, "stop corporations from dictating governance". That'll work.

Let me translate what you just said: if someone harasses you at your workplace and elsewhere, and as such causes harm to you, and do so also by deploying systematically dissipated stereotypes (yes, they are social weapons), you shall not press charges, because if you do, you would be a petty little girl who is causing harm to your company.

Not new and definitely not a reason for inaction.
The author should think about taking some classes. The "omnipresent male power" argument is a staple of myths around radical feminism.
Most contemporary feminisms take into account historicity and contingency in power relationships, as do almost all of critical theory and queer theory. People need to get their asses off of their heads and of the myths that are injected into poorly formulated beginner-level feminist arguments.
H1B is a type of visa, it cannot be hired.
> They're getting hired by old, slow, cheap, mostly non-tech corporations who won't compete on either quality of work or wages.
Foreigner = Evil. On the other hand, you get an H1B if you are shown to be more qualified than u.s. citizens who applied to the job. If anything, it's a great way to bring in skilled laborers and keep them in check (since, if you get fired, you get deported too).
No, however much you try to whitewash it, 70-30-3-4-5 is as shitty as it gets outside of legalized segregation.
The one who advocates open hardware. You know.
Sarcasm?
I mean, you just said you can't tolerate anything related to gender equality. Eeesh.
I detest doing substantive contributions. Too much control and too much conservatism as to what gets to be and gets to be included in it.
The various autonomous wikis are usually better in these aspects but because of the issues above, they cannot contribute much upstream.
First world problems. Literally.
We seem to be witnessing the convenient limits of discourse.
Are.. you.. kidding.. me?...
A - I think lgbti I employ should not be allowed the same rights as my other employees
B - We want equal treatment under the law.
Which one of these is intolerant again?
I wonder how you'd feel if your company hired a CEO who would want to take away your spouse's benefits because [insert arbitrary reason here]. There is a reason why people are vocal: they get hurt otherwise.
