Your preferred solution to the problem of gender inequality is a magic ray gun that imparts empathy and compassion?
I mean, OK. I agree, that would work. But you honestly don't think that's what we're trying to do here? It's hard. People are jerks. All we simpering SJW's are saying is while people are still jerks, would it really hurt so much if they were forced not to act like it in ways that actively hurt things?
You're saying that people's opinions are the problem and that doing this thought police stuff isn't changing them, so it's not a solution.
Isn't the actual problem, though, that women (c.f. this very thread) don't feel comfortable or welcome in tech careers? How is the inner mental landscape of a bunch of dudes going to fix that? Isn't the "real" solution to, y'know, actually make things better for women in this industry?
