No, you don't understand. The evil feminists are using their Wiccan powers to force the innocent programmers to compromise their masculine virtue and overthrow their engineering standards!!!
Me thinks this is a geek fantasy
I remember something a while back about “the seriousness of the charge” of sexual assault demands an assumption of guilt.
I worked at a large company where a manager was fired because a female underling claimed he touched her hand when he took control of her computer’s mouse in order to show her how to do something with it. This was in a room with several people around, but it didn’t matter to the company.
While visiting a friend in another building at work, as the elevator door opened, he grabbed me and said 'Oh I forgot...'
Next he pulls me into the men's room and checks it out like in a spy movie!
The coast being clear, he tells me that the lone woman on the elevator was NOT female and would have us down in the personnel office, if I so much as looked at it!!!
This was a mega corporation, we would be toast, and we would not have been the first.
First seeing the photo, it looked like that, but after reading the comments with the article; not so much.
My Dad, when I went off to college, told me a story about being a teenager in 1950s nuclear family suburbia near a big city, but spending Summers out in the small town where the larger family was from.
Seems all the suburban guy’s knew to stay away from the local girls, because there was history of suburban guy’s being railroaded into marriage with the small town girls (who really wanted out of small town life) on the false accusation of getting the girls pregnant.
Not since reading An Army of Davids have I been inspired to believe that there is still a chance for right and reason to prevail in the USA. Not since yesterday when I ordered the Kindle edition of Vox Day’s SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down The Thought Police.
Seven years of being fundamentally transformed will do that to you.
And before that, eight years of the Bush administration refusing to defend itself against the relentless attack from the Left. I mean, who can forget watching Alberto Gonzales getting bludgeoned in oversight hearings, or the daily press briefing with Scott McClellan. They left it up to Right bloggers to engage in the hand to hand combat with the lefties of the MSM and internet as well.
It was hard, thankless work. Still is, in fact. Especially when your own party is too afraid of being called “racist, sexist, homophobe, islamophobe†to even put up a modicum of resistance. And then, when we mount successful stands through the loose confederation of Tea Party alliances, we are undermined by our own supposed allies. And they wonder why we won’t roll over on the Speaker election!
Who would have thought that the model for victory would be found in the Sci-Fi world, and in their close alliances with video gamers?
Not I, said the duck. My heartfelt advice to you, loyal readers, is to spend 5 bucks and read this book. I finished it this morning, and I’m still in a giddy daze.

The word is leech.
When watching some gawdawful PC crap in a theatre costs $10 bucks for 83 minutes, Day's book is a steal in the Kindle Store.
The Register is, unfortunately, a very SJW friendly site; FReepers should not patronize them with hits.
When did that happen? Given their IT/System Administrator leanings, that seems surprising.
By all means, go read the article, then come back and tell me if you still have that opinion.
I’m not doubting you, since the writing style seems a bit off compared to their BOFH days. My only question is *when* it happened.
Yeah, don’t know. I used to go there quite a bit, myself, but finally had enough a few months ago.
The problem is that if you're alone with one of them, they can accuse you of anything, and the feminazis will insist that you must be guilty.
They may have one or two authors that meet that criteria, but then they have Andrew Orlowski and Tim Worstall, the which MORE than counterbalances.
I say everyone should visit The Register.
