Here's hard data to match your experience:

"This paper presents the largest study to date on gender bias, where we compare acceptance rates of contributions from men versus women in an open source software community. Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, women's acceptance rates are higher only when they are not identifiable as women. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless."

Here's some data to demonstrate the existence of gender bias in coding:

Fuck generational politics. There are class, gender, and racial divisions within each generation. We have more in common with working class and oppressed boomers than with ruling class members of our own generation.

A good (and entertaining) primer on revolutions is the now completed Revolutions podcast. I think you'll find revolutions more complex than that simplistic characterization. Most violence in a revolution happens during the counter revolution.

Raising the spectre of possible revolutionary violence ignores the violence of the current system. Can you imagine the world overcoming climate disaster, with all the carnage it will bring, while under the rule of capitalism? Any revolutionary violence should be compared against the ongoing and future violence of capitalism, and its interconnected systems of white supremacy and patriarchy.

After the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, homosexuality (as well as abortion) was decriminalized.

It was only after Stalin's counter-revolution that gay sex (and abortion) were made illegal. People spoke out against it, including queers and feminists in the Comintern. Again, wtf are queer (or feminist) tankies thinking?

A job is something you do that someone WITH MONEY wants done, ON THEIR TERMS.

there are rare, lucky, exceptions to this.

My exception is my job is with others that unionized. So even tho we are only doing something that many someones with lots and of money want done, we're able to skim a good deal of money off of it.

It was only 4 unions, but representing 60k out of 115k workers. PLUS, the unions all agreed that if anyone went on strike, they would all strike together. They did this so they would all be stronger in negotiations.

Social security is SELF-FUNDING, and even still lends money to the general fund. Yes, this a list of all government spending, but it isn't what your FICA payment goes towards. Military spending is #1 for that.

As yet, social security is still a SELF-FUNDING program that lends money to the general fund. I'm gen-x, not a boomer. Stop buying into generational warfare. We have more in common with working class boomers than with gen Z tech bros.

Does she look like a cat "owner" to you?
