I ll start : I have been following a pretty known tech/Linux journalist, and always found he is a fun dude to listen to, with interesting tech takes
The fact that he is also very openly “american conservative” (aka, religious & weapon nut, anti abortion, etc) annoys me, but i keep those things separate. And he does keep it separate too (politics channel vs tech channel), which is a great decision.
I’m a man, which means I am part of “men.”
Lots of men are predatory, objectify women and scoff at feminism. Being a man, people just inherently assume I’m like that too.
I deal with it by engaging only with people who demonstrate the ability to listen and withhold judgment.
Indeed. Oftentimes they kinda resolve their cognitive dissonance by saying ‘Ah, you got a fiance, you have to say that wink’. As if there is no other logical explanation.
That is as sexist as it gets from whatever dumb people think about literally 50% of the world’s population as a monolith
He said ‘lots of men’ not all.
