You shouldn't become outraged so easily.

And I think your opinion is tainted.

"don't think we'll succeed teaching white, male middle managers empathy and compassion anytime soon so let's limit their scope of damage"

So when this guy makes workshops to spread his bigotry he is fighting for inclusion and when I speak up I am fighting against diversity initiatives? Are you for real?

Come on you guys.

My expectations are too high. I shouldn't except HN crowd to understand the difference between mainstream and intersectional feminism.

But it is hilarious that posts on gender and race issue get flagged to death, posts about class are always voted to the top, and anything that threatens the status quo spurs outrage.

There actually aren't as many posts on class, though we (where "we" really means society) seem to be getting there.

I'm thinking of adding to the site guidelines to please not post generalizations about the HN community unless you have data. It seems almost always to be associated with low-information, divisive comments. I don't mean to pick on you personally; lots of users do it. But almost always in bad parts of threads.

Dang, you've mentioned this to me before so I have been counting, but I prefer a more scientific method. Are there APIs that let me know the number of flags for a post?

Edit: also why I asked for the number of upvotes. According to him it was 45? That's a lot.

Yes, why do you feel so persecuted?

People cannot be taught empathy through corporate courses. It doesn't matter if they are straight, male, or whatever. Probably mentioned male middle managers because management is mostly male. I'm not this easily offended.
