Boring Human :onering: @Julia

To all those (white) men complaining lately that it's so sad and unfair that people assume you're an asshole because of who you are: your (white) brothers ruined it for you.
Stop whining at those who treat you in a certain way due to their own personal past experiences and .

@Julia what a stupid post. But I'm happy that stuff like this comes to the surface more and more lately. Because finally we might be able to get rid of it.

@nore
"Stuff like this" being what exactly?

@Julia The idea that those who are generalizing critics in the way of "white men are assholes" are not responsible for that wrong generalization.

@Julia @nore In another toot he says there are few women in his hackerspace. Gee, I wonder why.

@toni @nore
What? I am shocked. SHOCKED, I SAY!

@Julia @toni Yeah, right. Personal attacks... Very nice of you two. Proves that you have to be right :D

@Julia Is that supposed to be an insult? Think about that: If I'd say something sexist, wouldn't the people who are offended be primarily not cis-men? So who would primarily be offended by white-men bashing? Probably white men, right? ;)

@nore Adorable that you think that was "white-men bashing".
And you started the personal attack, my dear.

@Julia Come on please, don't call me "my dear". That's disgusting. And yes, you're right. You can read me calling your post "stupid" as a personal attack

@nore
Oh, is it disgusting? Strange because men do that to me a lot... :breadthink:
I also don't know what exactly was a personal attack against you. At no point did we call you names or call you "stupid".

@Julia Than they do disgusting shit, not me... remember?
I did not call you stupid, either. I called your post stupid. Which is still true, by the way.
And assuming that there are few women in hour hacker space because of me or my behaviour, and making jokes about it... That is in fact a personal attack. But I'm sure you already knew that.
I'm out now. Got other things to do than "leading to nowhere"-discussions with people who just want to "win" that conversation.

@hal It's understandable. Imagine people assuming something about you because of who you are. Sounds awful.
@nore

@Julia @nore yeah I kinda get it but seeing these white dudes yell to me about linux treating me like I'm too dumb to understand what they're saying kinda proves some of the things here

@Julia s/better/other - I consider this one to be good enough, I'd just like to read some more points of view.
