The ever-increasing belligerent mangina-weeping for the tech industry to increase its ranks with more women is sickening. If it bothers you so much. Start a company and hire them yourself. You'll be shutting down within twelve months or less.

"You'll be shutting down within twelve months or less."

Why?

Because discriminating based on anything other than merit puts you at a disadvantage. Hence, yes, an all female company for the sake of being all female should be more likely to fail.

It's a troll account, these pop up in droves every times a gender/race issue pops up on HN.

I don't care enough about some obvious troll with a three post account but I'm pretty peeved to watch this get upvotes.

We've got some good sexism and machoism right off the top, already know it's going to be a good one. That's where we get to the implication that women can't be coders and are all inferior in all tech roles to men.

Congratulations asshole and those upvoting him. You're the worthless pieces of shit that don't know what "privilege" means and when you hear it, all you can think is "what about us poor white straight men". People like y'all were born without the proper ability to empathize and fall into the same category as the Republicans that hate gays until their son comes out and then magically now they "get it". Jesus.

HN will sometimes bump newer posts up to the top temporarily, so it's not necessarily getting upvotes.
